Fittonia Plant

Growing Environment

• Best Suited for Indoor Growing: Fittonia plants thrive in indoor environments with bright, indirect light.
• Outdoor Option: They can be placed in shaded areas outdoors, protected from harsh sunlight.

Light Requirements

• Optimal Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure.
• Tip: Insufficient light can lead to leggy growth, while too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.

Watering

• Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, usually once a week.
• Method: Water thoroughly until it drains out of the bottom; do not let the roots sit in water.

Humidity Needs

• Ideal Humidity: Thrives in humidity levels around 60-80%.
• Tip: Increase humidity by misting the leaves or using a humidity tray, especially in dry environments.

Fertilizing

• Type: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer suitable for houseplants.
• Frequency: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Tip: Reduce fertilization in the winter months.

Air Circulation

• Importance: Moderate air circulation helps prevent fungal issues.
• Tip: Ensure placement in a well-ventilated area, avoiding cold drafts.
