This plant is so unique when he needs water he slump down but when he’s hydrated he’s standing tall love this plant because he tells you what to do with him
@@AnnasViolets which other plants…I love plants that talk to me lol…I once grew Lima beans and I love when the sun was out they stood tall and when the sunset they slumped down lol beautiful to watch
@@single7933 Begonias, african violets, gloxinias, even dracaena marginata will show you when they are thirsty. However, Daracaena is not recovering well. She will drop the leaves if underwatered. BUt also, you can have Maranta or Mimosa, they move their stems and leaves depending on the day time. It's amazing. Sometimes, I can even hear the branches of my Maranta move. :) Mimosa will close its leaves immediately, even if you touch it. :) Pretty cool
I boughht this pink one in Nov for my birthday because I like plants with some color but it didn't have a name tag. It did well until Thanksgiving break from my office. I watered all my plants before I left but when I returned, it was droppy and wilted. I thought it was dead! I watered it and the next morning, it had perked up! I was so happy. I did my research and found out it's a Fittonia Nerve plant. Now I water it weekly but mist it every 2 days. I even brought it home while I was out for Xmas break. She's such a diva!
Hello Mrs. Dawkins, you are doing everything right. :) They do like air humidity. They are perfect plants for bathrooms and terrariums. This one is growing in my bathroom, but I planted some parts of it in a terrarium. You can see it here: ruclips.net/video/i7VAJoRQvzE/видео.html
Wow, 3 at once? Where they in the same pot? Sometimes they sell it here like that, a mix of several varieties in one pot, but it's quite rare. I am so happy you like the videos! 🍀🍀🍀
Hey Anna I got one for free because The store just had one fittonia plant that was not in good condition but hopefully I would grow it well and propagate it Thanks for the video 🎉
I have the same as the one showing. I received as a bday gift. So trying to really care for it as a house plant. I usually dont have luck with any plants. Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Hey Sydney. Air humidity is the key for these plants. You can spray it often, grow in the bathroom, or use a humidifier around it :) This should help. 🌸
I have a little green fettonia. My boyfriend gifted it as a birthday gift. So I want to keep the little one as happy as I can keep her. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for this video! It was very helpful & informative. I have a pink angel nerve plant, and I'm really looking forward to seeing to grow and thrive!
Thanks for watching, Marissa🌸 Pink ones are so beautiful. You can also try to grow it (or a part of it) in a terrarium. I have a separate video on that. In a terrarium they have the best air humidity they need
I’ve been misting mine once a week because that’s what the instructions said. I did not water them :( had them two months and they are starting to drop. Now one is dying and the other one is starting to drop. Thank you I hope watering them will help. Thank you
Ended up cutting of the dead leaves (very crispy). Now after nearly two months they are starting to grow little leaves back. I might have gave it too much plant food at one point, but they are doing good now, hopefully 😂
@@deanerrol1026 If you know you have overwatered, you can water it A LOT, so that the water goes out of the holes and kind of rinses the soil. But, yaaaaaay! It's growing baby leaves 🎉🎉
I was wondering about pebble tray. My fittonia was doing so well and now some of the leaves becoming crispy on the edges and leaves curling. I also mist it every day. Thank you for the good video.
I have this same plant and while the stems are long, green, and healthy my leaves have been falling off. I don't have it near heaters and it sits in indirect sunlight. Any tips to get it more full?
Does it get wilted between watering? Maybe you water it a bit late, and some leaves get damaged already? Another reason can be some pests. Check on the bottom side of the leaves, maybe there is smth
@@AnnasViolets Thank you so much for your reply. I water it once a week and spray the leaves with water a couple times during the week. The leaves I do have look healthy with the exception of browning on the edges of a few. Should I clip off the two healthy stems that don't have leaves? Thank you again for your assistance.
i saw you let them stay inside of the bathroom, there is no light source as sun there. can we just let it stay there and use the bathroom as usual no need to monitor then daily?
I think I put mine under direct light inside for too long and over water it… I have it under indirect light now, but it’s still droopy and the leafs are getting ready to break off but hopefully when I let it dry out for two days and then water it abit, it will come back to life
Hey Rocky, yes, the leaves can get droopy from underwatering, and then will recover when watered. But they can also get droopy from overwatering. In this case, the roots may be rotten and the plant will need urgent repotting. Glad that yours recovered. :)
I have a red vein variety. I have it for months already. Unfortunately it is not as bushy as yours. I do not overwater them and mist them 2x a day, in the morning and afternoon because it's summer here but the leaves still drop. The soil is well draining and does not have fungi. I don't know what else to do. Please help. Thank you
@@AnnasViolets hi, there are no spider mites. Sad to say it only have 2 leaves left. I think it's slowly dying. It's making me sad when i see it. How can i bring it back to life? Is there any chance to save it? Please help. Thank you
For Fittonias it's very important to have a very high air humidity. You can use a humidifier to create this environment for them. Here is my recommendation amzn.to/3rr2LAE
Hey Gabriella, it's definitely not healthy. But without seeing it or not knowing in which conditions it was growing, it's hard to tell the reason for it and therefore also what to do. Was it in cold? Was it too much fertilized?
@@AnnasViolets hi :) good point lol i have her next to my white nerve plant so I figured she’d be doing just as well( indirect bright light) , however about 2 1/2 weeks ago I noticed she had gold color on the dirt! Looked like perlite but gold brown Never seen it didn’t look like mold but I Didn’t like it so I repotted but she still seems to be sad
@@gabriellabarragan325 I think it can still be mold. If that's the case, the plant may be overwatered, as mold grows only on very humid areas. If the plant is overwatered, the roots may be rotten and do not work properly, which means the water doesn't get delivered to the leaves and that's why the leaves look wilted :) I think in this case repotting was a right thing to do. You can also spray the leaves to help them preserve the moisture, till it grows new roots :)
My plant looks the same as yours except the leaves are WAAAY bigger on mine, and mine has less stems and branching overall, same shape and structure tho. His name is carlos
@@AnnasViolets I took a look but I think mine is definitely a nerve plant. The viens are the only part of my leaves that are colored, it seems like most of those hypoestes plants had exactly the opposite color scheme, green veins and pink leaves, mine has veins of varying shades of red to white and dark evergreen leaves, the stems have hairs too
I actually used to be a landscaper so I should know how to identify plants at this point but exotic plants and houseplants are a totally different world
@@omniXenderman Absolutely! The world of plants is endless. I know just some bushes and plants for gardens. But I am much more experienced in houseplants. There was a time when I was thinking to learn landscaping, but not having a garden of my own, it would be quite hard to practice :)
Hey Eleanor, Fittonias get rotten in water, at least in my experience. You can plant the cuttings directly in the soil, maybe it will be easier to make them grow roots :)
I purchased a good humidifier a week ago, I’m in the season where I like to recreate, even a bit, their natural environment. But good thing to know that they thrive in water propagation and my first ever fittonia who wanted to die on me like twice is now thriving in water!!!
@@therootofallthings Yes, they like humidity a lot. Even though sometimes I have received message from people, saying that water propagation didn't work for them, as they rot in water. I have a small terrarium, which is empty for now. You motivated me to buy some various varieties of fittonias and plant them all together :)

Thank you.
But off topic, what nail polish is that?
Thanks, Hailey. It's OPI :)

So glad to have found your video... I grow my Fittonia is a pot... want to try out the terranium version as well

Which fertiliser is best for this plant?
Ave fittonia 2 times I. Bought.. And it's died.. Any suggestion?
For Fittonias it's very important to have a very high air humidity. You can use a humidifier to create this environment for them. Here is my recommendation amzn.to/3rr2LAE
Can it use artificial light like a plant light to grow?
Yes, but be careful, if it's very strong. Don't put it very close to ir, as they like bright indirect light
My plant leaves are browing from edges,also leaves are dropping..soil is moistured, getting enough bright light .what can be the reasons?
What about air humidity? Maybe the air is very dry for it
Pink angel,Red vain ,mini white angel,and pink star.
Thanks for vedeo
Thanks a lot for watching :)
What should I do if My plant has crunchy??? Yellow leaves

Anyways, learned a lot from your video. Thanx much for sharing.
Thank you so much 😀
How large will this plant grow?
It's more trailing/hanging. It will not become taller. Also, it's always good to prune it, so that it gets bushier
