How to Care for Your Fittonia 'Pink'

Place your Fittonia in a location with bright, indirect light to preserve its vibrant pink veins. It will tolerate lower light but may lose some of its bold coloring over time. Use a well-draining indoor potting mix and keep the soil consistently moist — never fully dry or soggy. Fittonia is sensitive to drying out and may wilt dramatically when thirsty, but it typically perks up quickly after watering.

This plant thrives in high humidity environments and is perfect for terrariums, bathrooms, or grouped with other tropical plants. If your home is dry, consider using a pebble tray or humidifier nearby. Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, which can cause leaf drop.

Pinch back stems to encourage fuller growth, and prune any yellowing or crispy leaves to keep it looking lush and vibrant.
