Fittonia albivenis 'Mini White' - Nerve Plant is a member of the Acanthaceae family of plants and can be found in South America, mainly Peru. It has earned many common names such as Nerve Plant, but it is also referred to the Mosaic Plant due to the unique leaf pattern. The leaves are heavily veined with white which almost looks like a white netting over green leaves. It can get 6-12" tall when not pruned back and will spread in width.

Fittonia albivenis 'Mini White' - Nerve Plant prefers slightly moist soil and high humidity (above 55%). It can grow in bright, indirect light but not direct light. Place in a warm spot and avoid areas with cold drafts or the plant may 'faint' or droop.

USDA Hardiness Zone 10-12

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:

This plant will do well in the tropical, humid environment of a vivarium. Plant in foreground or background as this plant can be easily trimmed and pruned back without adverse effects if done correctly. Place plant in an area that is not too soggy or it may rot. It’s an excellent candidate for most other animal terrariums, with plenty of foliage to allow privacy.

As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Plants from Josh’s Frogs are specifically grown to be safe for use with animals. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
