Fittonia albivenis “Silver Nerve Plant”

This is a white-veined cultivar of Silver Nerve Plant, Fittonia albivenis, which does exceptionally well here compared to any other Fittonia I’ve cultivated. The original plant was purchased without any cultivar name attached; I cannot be certain, but this is likely the “Mini White” form, but we’ll simply call it “Silver Nerve Plant”. Sold in a 2″ cup, usually 3 rooted stems. Plant size will vary depending on age post cultivation, our main image is our target minimum.

General Care Information

A tropical plant native to South America, it appreciates warmth and humidity. The growth form of this cultivar varies considerably depending on light and humidity levels. Pruning will help maintain a more bushy appearance. While often sold as a houseplant, under those conditions care is often tricky and as such, Nerve Plants are often suggested to be rather difficult. Conversely, this particular nerve plant cultivar is often a vigorous plant in dart frog vivariums. This, combined with its low price, means we think it’s ideal for beginners vivariums.
