Care

LIGHT
Fittonia prefer bright, indirect light. Lower light can cause it to lose some of its vibrant color and growth will slow. Too much light can burn the leaves.

WATER
Loves water and to be consistently moist, but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top 50% of soil is dry. 

NUTRIENTS
Feed with slow-release fertiliser once every month (refers to packaging for dosage).In the warmer months, feed twice with a liquid fertiliser.

IDEAL TEMPERATURE
Avoid cold drafts and direct airflow from heaters in the winter months.
