Fittonia albivenis (Nerve Plant)

Yes, the Fittonia albivenis is non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.

The Nerve Plant is very communicative; it will visibly wilt when it is thirsty. Once you provide water, it typically recovers and perks back up quite quickly.

It prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant vein patterns, though it can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.

Regular pruning is the best way to encourage a fuller, bushier shape. Simply trim back the stems to stimulate new growth and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy.

Yes, as a native of the South American rainforest, it thrives in high-humidity environments. It is an excellent candidate for terrariums or rooms like a bathroom where moisture levels are naturally higher.
