Also know as the Nerve plant, Fittonia are a stunning houseplant that come in a variety of colours to fit every home and style. They are humidity loves so will appreciate a regular misting or are great in terrariums. They also are good at being super dramatic - they can tell you when they want a water as they will begin to droop and the leaves will go quite soft. After a good drink they perk back up as though nothing ever happened!
