How to grow

Small and low-growing, with boldly veined leaves, these striking houseplants love a humid environment. This makes them perfect for bathrooms, bottle gardens and terrariums.

  • Pot up quickly: add 50 ml of water to your coir disk to make compost. You’ll pot your plant in this.
  • Position: find your plant a home, in your home! Fittonias thrive in bright locations, avoiding direct sunlight.
  • Watering: water your fittonia regularly so that the soil is always moist – but make sure not to overwater.
