Pink Fittonia (Fittonia verschaffeltii) is a charming and compact houseplant renowned for its vibrant, pink-tinged foliage. This 2-inch plant is perfect for adding a splash of color to small spaces and makes an excellent choice for terrariums, miniature gardens, or as a desktop accessory. The plant features striking pink veins running through its dark green leaves, creating a captivating contrast that brightens any indoor environment.
The Pink Fittonia is well-suited to low to moderate light conditions, making it ideal for areas with indirect sunlight. It thrives in a humid environment, so it's beneficial to keep the plant in a terrarium or use a humidity tray. Water the plant regularly, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can lead to leaf drop.
With its delicate appearance and ease of care, the Pink Fittonia is a lovely addition to any plant collection. It adds a touch of elegance and color to your space while being relatively simple to maintain, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.
