Fittonia or nerve plants are fairly easy to care for–they can tolerate a range of lighting conditions. The Fittonia plant leaves have deep veins that run across the leaves to form a pattern and so comes the name - nerve plant. They prefer humid environments, and well-drained moist soil, but not too wet. water moderately and let the plants dry out between waterings. These little beauties do well in terrariums, hanging baskets, dish gardens, or even as a ground cover in the right climate.
