Fittonia (nerve plant) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Acanthaceae, native to tropical rainforest in South America, mainly Peru. The Fittionia is a spreading evergreen perennial with delicately veined, deep-green leaves. Although the most popular vein color is silvery-white, you can also readily find varieties with veins in red, pink, white, and green. Small buds may appear after a time where the stem splits into leaves. Flowers are small with a white to off-white color.
The Fittonia will satisfy the inner perfectionist in you. Each leaf of Fittonia Green is perfectly shaped with vivid white veins that run across the dark green leaf, earning it the names Nerve Plant and Silver Net Plant. She’s a temperamental plant, but totally worth the hassle!
