The Fittonia is a small wonderful tropical houseplant that is great for tabletops, hanging baskets and terrariums as it's a low-growing creeper. This little drama queen will wilt when it's thirsty and will perk back up after you give it a drink. It will add a distinctive touch to your decor with the rich green leaves and bright pink, red, or white veins.
Other names: Nerve plant, Fittonia albivenis.
