Red Nerve Plant Fittonia Leather Leaf Plant

Red Fittonia, also known as the Nerve Plant, is a beautiful and unique houseplant that can bring a pop of color to any room. With its striking red veins that contrast against its green leaves, it's no wonder this plant has become a popular choice among plant enthusiasts.

Native to the rainforests of South America, the Red Fittonia thrives in warm, humid environments, making it a great choice for bathrooms or kitchens. Its delicate, creeping stems can grow up to 6-8 inches in height, and its compact size makes it a great option for small spaces.

One of the most striking features of the Red Fittonia is its red veins, which stand out against the green leaves and add a dramatic touch to any décor. Its leaves can vary in shape and size, but they are typically oval or elliptical and have a slightly wavy edge.

Caring for a Red Fittonia is relatively easy, but it does require a bit more attention than other houseplants. It prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered consistently to maintain moist soil. However, it's important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Additionally, the Red Fittonia thrives in high humidity, so misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help keep it healthy and happy.

In terms of placement, the Red Fittonia can be displayed in a variety of ways. It can be planted in a small pot on a windowsill, or it can be displayed in a hanging basket to show off its trailing nature. Its vibrant colors also make it a great choice for adding a bold pop of color to any room.

Overall, the Red Fittonia is a stunning and unique choice for any plant lover. Its striking red veins and green leaves make it a showstopper in any décor, and its low-maintenance care requirements make it a great choice for those new to plant care. If you're looking for a beautiful and eye-catching addition to your plant collection, the Red Fittonia is definitely worth considering.

We call her the "drama queen" of the plant world because she is known for fainting and the smallest environmental instability but quickly pops back when given water, light, or the right temperature.
