Nerve plant, or Fittonia, is a well-known tropical houseplant. Its evergreen foliage features deep green ovate leaves with elegant white, pink, or red veining. While nerve plants are slow-growing and typically do not flower indoors, they thrive in humid environments, particularly in terrariums. It is important to keep them out of direct, strong sunlight. Additionally, Fittonia is non-toxic, making it a safe choice for households with pets. It is also known for its air-purifying capabilities.
