🌟 Why Red Flame Fittonia Is a Must-Have

✔ Stunning Red Veins for Bold Color Contrast

The fiery, blood-red veining across deep green leaves creates a high-impact visual effect. Its vibrant coloration makes it perfect for brightening shaded spaces, softening hardscape in terrariums, or pairing with green, silver, or pink foliage plants.

✔ Compact, Low-Growing & Terrarium-Ready

Fittonia thrives in humidity and lower light environments, making it one of the best plants for closed containers, vivariums, and indoor tropical displays. Its slow, controlled growth ensures it won’t overwhelm small enclosures.

✔ Easy, Low-Maintenance Houseplant

Perfect for beginners and seasoned growers alike. This hardy tropical plant enjoys consistent moisture and indirect light, bouncing back quickly if it ever droops.

✔ Great for Bioactive & Naturalistic Setups

Ideal for:

• Terrariums

• Bioactive reptile & amphibian enclosures

• Mossy displays

• Glass cabinet greenhouses

• Fairy gardens

• Dish gardens

• Desktop planters
  Its lush, spreading growth provides ground cover and creates a natural, forest-floor aesthetic.

✔ Healthy, Ready-to-Grow Plant Plug

Each plug is rooted in nutrient-rich media, making transplanting simple and stress-free. Just place into fresh soil or terrarium substrate, water thoroughly, and enjoy steady growth.

🌱 Lighting & Care Requirements

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; thrives even in medium to low light conditions. Avoid direct sun.

• Humidity: Loves 60–90% humidity — perfect for terrariums.

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, never dry. Fittonia may “faint” when thirsty but perks up quickly after watering.

• Temperature: Ideal range is 65–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts.

• Soil: Use airy, moisture-retentive substrate such as tropical mixes, coco coir blends, or terrarium substrate.

• Growth Habit: Low-growing, spreading, and bushy. Pinch tips to encourage full, compact growth.
