Fittonia Nerve Plant Kokedama

Fittonia albivenis Fittonia Nerve Plant Kokedama Named for the network of veins that trace each leaf, the Fittonia Nerve Plant Kokedama is a rainforest floor species from South America with foliage in deep green, laced with pink, red, or white. Grown here as a kokedama—a Japanese moss ball form that dates back centuries—it arrives with a natural moss-wrapped base from a small family-run greenhouse in the Midwest. It tells you when it needs water: leaves droop when thirsty, then bounce back within hours after watering. Small Spaces, Close Views The kokedama form keeps this fittonia plant small and self-contained, so it fits naturally on a desk, nightstand, or narrow shelf where you can see the veining up close. Each plant comes with your choice of a white or gray patina tray. For a layered look, set it on our Wrought Iron Planter Stand , or as it grows larger, nestle it into a Rancho Terra Cotta Planter (each sold separately). Fittonia Plant Care Soak the moss ball when it starts to feel light or when leaves start to wilt, then gently squeeze out excess water before returning to the tray. Place in bright, filtered light near a north- or east-facing window for ideal growing. Veining shows its strongest color with some humidity, so mist occasionally in dry rooms. Keep it out of direct sunlight, which can fade the leaf pattern and scorch the leaves. See the full care guide section for details. How to Propagate Fittonia Nerve Plant Cut a healthy stem just below a node, with at least 1 or 2 nodes on the cutting Remove lower leaves so nothing sits below the waterline Place in a small glass of water in bright, indirect light Change the water every few days to keep it fresh Roots appear within 1 to 3 weeks Once rooted, transplant gently into soil Keep humidity high for the first week New growth is a sign that the cutting has taken root IN A NUTSHELL Thrives in bright, filtered light near north- or east-facing windows. Propagates easily from stem cuttings placed in water. Water when the moss feels light, or leaves begin to wilt. Mist occasionally in dry environments to prevent leaf edges from browning. Wilts visibly when thirsty but recovers quickly after watering. All live plants are non-returnable / non-refundable / not eligible for discounts.
