Fittonia Pink Nerve Plant adds a fine web of pink veins to small green leaves. Its low, spreading habit makes an inviting close-up accent for a shelf or tabletop, especially where humidity is steady. Pink intensity, leaf pattern and fullness vary naturally.

Points of interest and size

  • One live pink Fittonia in a 4-inch nursery grow pot.
  • A compact tabletop plant when shipped; established plants can reach about 6–12 inches tall and spread roughly 12–18 inches with time and care.

Care guide

  • Light: Medium to bright indirect light supports colorful veins. Keep out of harsh direct sun, which can scorch leaves; very dim spots slow growth.
  • Water: Keep the mix lightly and evenly moist, never waterlogged. Check regularly and water as the surface begins to dry, letting excess drain. Avoid letting the root ball dry completely.
  • Soil: Use an airy, moisture-retentive houseplant mix with perlite in a container with drainage holes.
  • Humidity and temperature: Moderate to high humidity helps prevent crisp leaf edges. Keep warm and away from cold drafts, hot vents and dry AC airflow.
  • Feeding: During spring and summer growth, apply balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to its label about monthly; reduce or pause in winter.
  • Pruning: Pinch tips for bushier growth and trim leggy stems or damaged leaves with clean scissors.
  • Repotting: Check roots when the plant fills its pot. If crowded, move up one pot size in fresh airy mix without burying stems deeper.
  • Propagation: Root healthy stem-tip cuttings with a node in water or lightly moist mix under warm bright indirect light.

Pet safety

Fittonia is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Keep plants out of reach of pets that chew leaves.
