Fittonia albivenis
A stunning plant for those looking for a new challenge.
Often known as the Nerve plant, the highly contrasting veins of the plant against the leaf make this a popular decorative option for indoors.
This plant wilts dramatically when it needs water so don't panic! If possible it should be kept consistently moist and in bright indirect light, avoiding full sun where it will burn.
