Fittonia Verschaffeltii 'Red'

Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Red'- Nerve Plant is a member of the Acanthaceae family of plants and can be found in South America, maily Peru. It has earned many common names such as Nerve Plant, but it is also referred to the Mosaic Plant due to the unique leaf pattern. The leaves are heavily veined with pink, which almost looks like a pink netting over green leaves. There are many types of 'Red' Fittonia's and the variety available can range from heavily veined to lightly veined. Some have ruffled edges on their leaves and some have smooth. Fittonias generally stay on the shorter side but can reach 6-12" tall when not pruned back. 

Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Red' prefers slightly moist soil and high humidity (above 55%). It can grow in bright, indirect light but not direct light. Place in a warm spot and avoid areas with cold drafts or the plant may 'faint' or droop.

Fittonia (nerve plant) is a genus of flowering plants in the acanthus family Acanthaceae, native to tropical rainforest in South America, mainly Peru. 

The most commonly grown are F. albivenis and its cultivars. They are spreading evergreen perennials growing 10–15 cm (4–6 in) tall. They bear lush green leaves with accented veins of white to deep pink and have a short fuzz covering their stems. Small buds may appear after a time where the stem splits into leaves. Flowers are small with a white to off-white colour. Plants are best kept in a moist area with mild sunlight and temperatures above 55 °F (13 °C), therefore in temperate areas they must be grown as houseplants. Without water for a few days, this plant is known to "faint" but is easily revived with a quick watering. Its spreading habit makes it ideal as groundcover.
