Fittonias are colourful rainforest creepers that love to mix things up. One batch of cuttings can throw white, yellow, pink, green and red, from fine netted veins to broad colour panels. They crawl and root as they travel, take pruning in stride, wilt dramatically when dry and bounce back after a proper soak. Keep light soft, moisture even and the air warm and humid to keep patterns crisp.
Fittonia 'Pink Lightning' displays dark green foliage lit up by bold pink veins that branch in a jagged, lightning-like pattern across each leaf. The contrast is sharp, with some leaves showing lighter green centres that highlight the vivid venation even further.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to keep colours defined.
Water: Keep the soil evenly moist, allowing only the top layer to dry slightly.
Humidity: High humidity is essential; thrives in enclosed or grouped conditions.
Temperature: Maintain warm indoor conditions between 18-24°C.
Fertiliser: Use a diluted liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks in the growing season.
Repotting: Replace potting mix when growth slows or roots fill the container.
