Fittonia, also known as nerve plant or mosaic plant, is native to the tropical rainforest of South America, mainly Peru. They are popular as houseplants due to their striking foliage, which features brightly colored veins in contrasting colors against a darker background. The veins may be white, pink, red, or silver, creating a beautiful mosaic-like pattern.

Fittonia plants are relatively small, typically growing to a height of 6-12 inches. They prefer warm, humid environments and bright, indirect light. They can be a bit finicky, requiring consistent moisture and humidity to thrive but well worth the effort.
