Fittonia 'Ruby Lime' (Pot Size 9cm) Nerve plant sold by Boma Garden Centre

Fittonia make great colourful foliage plants for smaller, more compact spaces. They are low growing, ground cover plants in the wild, covering the forest floor of tropical South America and Peru. Knowing this, Fittonia or the nerve plant prefers warm, moist conditions and to be placed in indirect light.There are many different types of Fittonia in all colours and patterns- they all require pretty much the same care with certain cultivars preferring slightly more light. ‘Ruby Lime’ is a spectacular variety, with intense red veining and lime green leaves- the leaves are so heavily veined they are more red than green.  The nerve plant is perfect for terrariums and shallow bowls/ troughs as they don’t grow much above 15cm and sprawl across the soil surface
