General Care Instructions:
Light: Fittonia requires bright indirect light to maintain the colour of its leaves. The plant should not be exposed to direct light. If your plant looses its colour, it means it is not receiving enough light.
Water: Water sparingly but frequently to keep the soil moist but not soggy. This plant will dramatically wilt when it is need of water, it is not dead! Watering will perk it right back up!
