I had three small pink fittonias that I put in a terrarium . The two on the more shallow (soil) side of the terrarium have been growing strong since they were planted, but the one in the deeper portion of the terrarium seemed to “die off” and became a little dry stick in the dirt, but I didn’t remove it. Several months later, I suppose once the roots of it reached deeper into the water table, it sprung back to life and is developing new growth. I was so surprised that it wasn’t dead. Fittonias are very dramatic when they don’t have enough water. But they’re definitely little troopers, and gorgeous to boot! One of my absolute favorites!
FromComedyToTragedy I just bought some today and wanted to put in a terrarium. Was yours a closed terrarium and if you still have it how are they doing nowadays. Thanks
Fittonia beautiful easy caring plant. I got few of them. I just kinda ignore them and they are brilliant. They tell you when they are thirsty and give em water and bounce back after a good sip. I kept mine away from direct sunlight and less light is ok for this lovely guy. Just don't over water it and that's it. Such an easy caring boy 😄😄😘
Yes I love mine! I freaked out the first time he drooped on me asking for water, I never saw a plant move so fast! I was like wth did I kill you already?! But now I learned he's just letting me know what he wants and now I can anticipate when he likes water before he droops to ask for some. And yeah he doesn't need water as often when he's not in the direct sun, I have to give him more when I leave my curtains open
I have the "Pink Angel" variety and after watching this video a few times & following your care tips- she's happy & healthy & growing!! Thanks for another great specific plant care tip video. I find these videos so useful Hannah! You're just awesome!! ♡
I had tried to care for some of the pink and red variety of fittonia and did terribly. Three months ago, my friend gifted me with a white fittonia variation and I've managed to keep it alive and healthy!! Hoping that your care and propagation videos help me to keep it alive for much longer!
I've got 2 fittonias and they are doing well. I keep mine in medium light and water when they just start to droop. I don't mist mine though but I've never had problems with brown crispy leave. Thanks for the tips just in case I start to run into issues
Thank u so much for sharing ur tips. I purchased one a couple weeks ago and I thought something was wrong when it was dry within 2 days. They are so pretty and it does grow fast. I will be doing videos on my plants as I get them on a routine.
Good luck, mine is struggling :(. It has crispy dry leaves. It was under a full spectrum LED light after I brought it in from the porch, where it was too cold. Started spraying it with water daily yesterday. Apparently it's meant to be a low light plant but she says otherwise. I moved it away from the LED because it didn't seem to be thriving under it.
Thank you for your tip, i have only one Fittonia and it is great so far, anyway it is good to know this plant does not like to much sun because i have very sunny rooms so i will keet it away from the window. Always a pleasure to watch your wonderful videos.
Thanks for the tips! I have a small, green and white Fittonia which has been going a little crispy around the edges, so I will try to increase its humidity. Thanks 😊🌱
Your's look happy and healthy. I have 2 Fittonias that are both doing well. I think everyone that has houseplants should have a Fittonia. They remind me to check to see if my plants need water. The poor things look so sad when they need water that I don't procrastinate and water them right away then check my other plants :)
I just treated myself today to 3 fittonia they are all different colours, I thought I had better watch your video so that I know how to care for them, hopefully they will look as healthy as yours do, wish me luck 🤞
Really very beautiful little plants. They looks healthy so I think you have considered all their needs. I have heard your conure / green chin conure???. Will be nice to see you and your birds in a next video:-) Have a nice Sunday afternoon:)
Just got 6 pots of fittonia today. I hope I can keep them as vibrant as yours. I am keeping them on the kitchen window ceil with plenty of sunlight I live in Kenya where it will be pretty warm through the year
Querida amiga, mis más sinceras felicitaciones por todas tus hermosas plantas, se ve la dedicacion, el amor, tiempo y muchas otras cosas para que siempre estén tan bien cuidadas, sanas y frondosas.
First time watching. Great info on fittonias. I have 2.one green and one pink. I've been taking care without tips but my bíggest problem is under watering and not quite the right soil mix. And of course wrong lighting. As soon as I'm done writing I'll fix everything. Sometime in the future. They don't look bad but could be in a much better. Here I go so bye for now. I just thought I would send a pic of what they are what they are like now. I've had them fór abort 3 to 4 mths. Still in their nursery pots.
My mom has one that is always just one step away from dying and I just managed to propagate a piece of it (in case is does die) and now I am trying to learn how to keep the new one I just planted alive and maybe revive the one my mom ownes. So I really hope this works😊
@@rashasuliman9361 Hi. What you do is whenever you want to trim the plant ( trimming makes any plant healthier) use the cuttings and put them in a glass of water with not much Sun. I change the water every 2 days and wash the glass as well. You should notice the growth of roots in the first week or so. It's advisable that the container you keep the cuttings in is transparent so you can see through any root developments or even the water level. Once the roots are strong you can transfer and plant in Soil. Some people transfer the cuttings to Soil from day 1. I don't considering that the success rate when you grow in water is higher.
I have my fittonia in a terrarium and they are producing air roots.Because of this I have started taking clippings and producing new plants. I do find it a little unusual though.
Thank you for this educational video on fittonias! If I want my fittonia to grow larger should I switch it to a larger pot? Also how often should I fertilize?
I fertilise once a month during summer. Some varieties of Fittonia have smaller compact leaves that don't grow much in size so it depends which variety you have. Some of mine are getting bigger leaves... I keep them in bright light. I wouldn't re-pot unless it needs it.
Mine doesn't seem to be growing very well at all... but I think it maybe bcos I'm using tap water. We also have a filter system which I made my husband put in bcos our tap water is very chemical and I think the plants are feeling it too. Bit lazy really, but clearly they need filtered like we do... so I better invest in a bigger water jug!
I have a red and green one I got a few months ago and I've been dealing with some crispy leaves. I keep him on my island which is in the middle of my kitchen so I don't think he gets all that much light. But he does seem to be doing a little better once I started misting him a few times a week.
Perfect video! Thanxx! Mine I'd like to propogate! HELP! 😱 It's "leggy" and now I know how to avoid yellow leaves and crispy leaves Thanxx to this video 😍 but it already went from yours to just 6 stems with few leaves 😰 p.s. mine is green nd white
in my first house in Thailand I put some Fittonias on a pebbled pathway in the ground and within days they turned to mush, so though yours do beautifully on your sunny/light window, my advice is never put them in full sunlight when it's particularly hot (85 to 100+ degrees) like here. They literally melted. One complaint about your video, couldn't you have given Marv and Monster walk/fly on cameo(s)?
I don't know why people think this plant is finnicky lol! it's not!! keep it away from drafts, give it bright diffused light and depending on where you put it, that's gonna affect how often u water it! I've had mine for 4 months now and it's doing great, I water it once a week lol it's in peat moss
I show how I mist my calathea orbifolia in one of my videos, think it's the 'How to keep your plants happy over winter' one. I use a very fine mist rather than a spray so it doesn't soak the surfaces, or sometimes I will take the plant to the bath or sink and mist it there :-)
Thanks for the video. I just bought one yesterday at Ikea - green/white and love it with its smart new white planter. ☺️ Do you know what kind of soil to use? Any additives the Fittonia would appreciate? TIA
Great fittonia you have. I too got the green one recently, but i have been observing some of its leaves are developing small holes in it before they completely dry off and die. Just want to know whether it is a natural phenomenon or what kind of care it needs otherwise? Thank you in advance.
Very informative video! May I know the soil mix ratio? I have a fittonia in rich black soil. It hardly grows and new leaves be turning brown/wilting. So no new leaf growth at all😢 I've already killed 2 due to overwatering and I don't wanna lose the last one I have😭
Great video! I just bought a fittonia and she has long roots curling outside the bottom of the nursery pot. Should I repot it with those long roots or trim them off? Thanks.
Pari Shaikh I use baby bio fertiliser around once a month during the summer. This product is linked in the description box under my most recent videos 😊🌿
I don't think they are particularly fast growers, if they get leggy you can cut them stem and replant into the soil (make sure there are a few nodes on the stem) :)
You can cut the stems and put back into soil, just leave one or two nodes on the stem, or I think water would be fine. I use baby bio fertiliser once a month in summer :)
Good day from the great frozen North in Canada! My Fittonia seem very healthy overall...my only minor complaint is that they somtimes get a bit " leggy "...long stems which somtimes flop over from their own weight...yours seem quite compact...can they be pinched back to create a fuller more compact appearance ?
Norman Smit Hi! ❄️🌿 Yes they can be pinched back, you can trim the stems and replant them back into the pot, just make sure there’s a couple of nodes on the stem and they should start growing roots 1-2 weeks 😊🌿
Hello there, my Fittonia leaves are curling and are getting really stiff and then dropping, they are not turning brown or yellow ...I hope you know what I mean. I mist them every day and keep the soil moist. I hope you could help. Thanks in advance
I don't have any Fittonia's at the moment but am definitely going to get some. Can you tell me please- How easy are they to get cuttings from and would you put a cutting in water until it rooted or do you need to divide a plant and make sure to get a piece that is already rooted? I like to get plants that will be able to give me more plants!
Apparently they are really easy to root if you just stick them back in soil rather than water (make sure there are at least one or two nodes) but seeing as they love water so much I'm sure you can root them in water! I haven't tried yet
All are in original nursery pots apart from one which I re-potted straight away and one that came with mealeys! He's fine now though as you can see :-)
Hi !! A month or so ago i bought a fitonia plant .It was in a pot with a croton ,I decided to separate them and I did so.The croton is doing well at my balcony but the fitonia is not showing any growth signs. Today I took it out of its pot to check if there is root rot but the roots are healthy .I put it in a small bottle with water and a few drops of fertilizer will see how it goes..any advise please??
One of my fittonia plant is down and the leaves turned out to be low and dull I guess it was due less water I sprinkled some water but anything else I can do Do you recommend any fertilizer ? Thanks in advance
Can you bounce back from crinkly dry leaves? I literally just got my plant and watered it once and was afraid the crinkly leaves meant I overwatered them. But the plant seemed to respond a little better to some misting. I think I'm going to bottom water from now on
@@TropicalPlantAddict creo que no es la begonia maculata. Es esa planta de hojitas pequeñas verdes y variegadas que descuelga un poco. Tengo una igual y no se cómo cuidarla.
I can't seem to find a video that helps me my fittonia is almost dead. I bought 2 at the same time and where pretty much on the same spot and watered the same. One is thriving the other is almost completely wilted and gone. Please help.
mine has been tall like a tree...is that ok? or i have to prune it.difficult to find the exact water day because my plant is very tall and some leaves are but others not.any ideas?
so if they start wilting it's just water they need? i mist mine once a day with room temperature water and wait for the soil to completely dry, it recently started acting up maybe i waited too long in between waterings?
My pink fittonia leaves looks like they are dull , dry and fried .. How to make it better? Also, the bottom and side of the pot (terracotta) has some white fungus growing so I recently treated it with a mix of 1 cup water + 1 tsp of hydrogen peroxide. The fungus issue dint subside and I really want my plant to become healthy. Please advise!
Shruti Thakur I personally don’t like terracotta pots… All my plants are in plastic nursery pots and then placed in ceramic decorative pots. In regards to the crispy leaves… This could be from too much direct sunlight, or lack of humidity. Make sure your soil mix has good drainage... perlite etc
Thanks you you are doing much better. So much brighter colored not since I moved then closer to the window. I have one issue though. Even though they are growing nicely the leaves are feeling kind of crunchy... No idea if that's normal or not
Spray the plant a few times a week, I water the soil enough to be damp and let it dry out for a day or two but all the while still misting the plant. Then once the soil dries out I water it again. I let it sit on the window sill with a sheer curtain since it seemed to dry up upon direct sun
i can’t find answers anywhere, i have one and it’s droopy but the color of the plant is still the same (it’s not crispy and their not yellow). so it’s drooping and the leaves are still green and pink. ifk what to do for her
What conditions are you keeping it in? They can droop if they are thirsty, getting too much sun/heat or sometimes if they are pot bound, or it could be bugs. Maybe check under the leaves and take a look at the roots

The two on the more shallow (soil) side of the terrarium have been growing strong since they were planted, but the one in the deeper portion of the terrarium seemed to “die off” and became a little dry stick in the dirt, but I didn’t remove it.

I got mine two weeks ago and it looks like it dying it is chilly in the kitchen
Hey pls can u tell me the proportion of a soil which u have informed in this video
Mine is leggy ..what to do with it 😢
mine has been tall like a tree...is that ok? or i have to prune it.difficult to find the exact water day because my plant is very tall and some leaves are but others not.any ideas?
I recently got a miniature fittonia and the medium is 100% pet moss. Not sure if your tips apply. Pls help. I don’t want to lose it.
Mine has been fine for months and now its getting dry crispy leaves. They're not brown or anything, just crispy to touch and look a bit sad. Any tips?
I have one fittonia, and it seems to have these unusual dug out tracks on the stems. Not sure what that is from
Hi sos... mines all shrivelled and looks like its going to die.. i placed it next to a bright window and watered plenty still no avail.. help?!
so if they start wilting it's just water they need? i mist mine once a day with room temperature water and wait for the soil to completely dry, it recently started acting up maybe i waited too long in between waterings?
Mine, the leaves are closing instead of spread out? Thanks
Same here :( I wanna know why
hi, I just bought a fittonia from an online store a week ago. I noticed that the stems are turning reddish brown, is that normal? what should I do?
very beautiful!
My pink fittonia leaves looks like they are dull , dry and fried .. How to make it better?
Also, the bottom and side of the pot (terracotta) has some white fungus growing so I recently treated it with a mix of 1 cup water + 1 tsp of hydrogen peroxide. The fungus issue dint subside and I really want my plant to become healthy. Please advise!
Shruti Thakur I personally don’t like terracotta pots… All my plants are in plastic nursery pots and then placed in ceramic decorative pots.
In regards to the crispy leaves… This could be from too much direct sunlight, or lack of humidity. Make sure your soil mix has good drainage... perlite etc
Thanks dear
How do I know when to repot my fitonia?
Thanks you you are doing much better. So much brighter colored not since I moved then closer to the window. I have one issue though. Even though they are growing nicely the leaves are feeling kind of crunchy... No idea if that's normal or not
Kalesia Wright hmm that could just be lack of humidity
@@TropicalPlantAddict so would it help if I spray it daily between watering
Kalesia Wright misting helps but I’d get a humidifier 😊🌿
@@TropicalPlantAddict thank you I'll look into that
My fittonia is wilting. How to save it,? leaves are dropped. And how to keep moisture should I spray water on leaves
Spray the plant a few times a week, I water the soil enough to be damp and let it dry out for a day or two but all the while still misting the plant. Then once the soil dries out I water it again. I let it sit on the window sill with a sheer curtain since it seemed to dry up upon direct sun
What did you use in fittunia media??
i can’t find answers anywhere, i have one and it’s droopy but the color of the plant is still the same (it’s not crispy and their not yellow). so it’s drooping and the leaves are still green and pink. ifk what to do for her
What conditions are you keeping it in? They can droop if they are thirsty, getting too much sun/heat or sometimes if they are pot bound, or it could be bugs. Maybe check under the leaves and take a look at the roots
what size pots do you recommend? Would you put more than one type of fittonia in the same pot? Thank you
Vivian Robert It depends what size fittonia you have… I have all my plants in various sized pots. Yes you can put different types in one pot 🌿
