Fittonia Mini

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

. 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. They can also be propagated by allowing the trimmings of the tip to grow roots in about 1-2 weeks. Flowers are small with a white to off-white color. 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 house plants. 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.
