What's included?
Our Plant for the Planet makes the perfect gift for a loved one, or even yourself. After making a donation, you’ll receive a pack containing:
- Your small fittonia houseplant: the pet-friendly little plant (approx. 5 to 8cm tall upon delivery) is carefully wrapped in plastic-free packaging and ready to be nurtured.
- A terracotta pot: to display this beautiful plant immediately.
- Coir: a planet-friendly, peat-free soil for your plant to grow in.
- A care sheet: the key to how you can help your plant lead a long and happy life.
- A greener living guide: tips on how you can lead a sustainable lifestyle.
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: to avoid wilting, water your fittonia regularly so that the soil is always moist – but make sure not to overwater.

Every pound you donate helps Friends of the Earth keep fighting for a greener and fairer planet.
You’ll help us take action for our own health and our planet’s. We need long-term solutions. We need your help to get our leaders to commit to a green and fair recovery for all.
When you order a plant, you'll provide vital support for our campaigns.
