Fittonia Flammule
Fittonia Flammule, commonly known as Nerve Plant, is a small, low-growing plant with striking foliage. Its leaves are oval in shape and have prominent veins, creating a stunning net-like pattern that comes in various shades of green and pink. The vibrant pink hues on the leaves are unique to this variety and make it a popular choice for adding a splash of color to any terrarium.
The Fittonia Flammule is an ideal plant for terrariums because of its compact size and preference for high humidity and low light conditions. It can grow up to 6 inches in height and spread, making it perfect for small to medium-sized terrariums.
In addition to its eye-catching appearance, the Fittonia Flammule is relatively easy to care for. It thrives in a well-draining potting mix and requires regular watering to maintain its moisture levels. The plant prefers indirect sunlight or filtered light, making it a great addition to terrariums that don't receive direct sunlight.
