Overview: Popular as Red Nerve Plant, Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ is a beautiful plant with extremely unique and attractive foliage. The vivid leaf veins are what make this plant appear different. In addition, the lush texture adds to its beauty. Fittonia albivenis Red is native to South America and hails from the Acanthaceae family. The best thing is, the size of the plant is compact, making it a popular choice for terrariums. At the same time, it loves humidity, which comes naturally in close setups like terrariums. If you want to add some vibrant plants in the tank that have flashy red colors, Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ is the right choice. It brings life and freshness to the indoor setups immediately.

Appearance: Some characteristic features of Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ are small and oval-shaped leaves with a dark green base and vibrant red veins. The net pattern across the foliage, creating an intricate design, looks attractive. Also, the contrasting colors– green and red make the setup more vibrant. The plant does not reach more than 3 to 6 inches in height, forming dense mats or clusters. It has a low-growing, compact growth habit. This feature, along with the spreading habit, combine to make it an ideal plant for indoor settings or terrariums.

Light requirements: To help Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ attain the best color, you need to expose it to bright but indirect light. Make sure the duration of direct light is less, as it can scorch the leaves. At the same time, low light will fade the colors and make the plant leggy. When you are growing it in a terrarium, give it filtered light consistently and at moderate levels to ensure foliage stays healthy and vibrant.

Soil requirements: Grow Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ in well-drained soil that can retain moisture. The soil mix can have coco coir, perlite and peat moss as it will ensure enough aeration and no waterlogging condition.

Humidity: Expose Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ to high humidity, ideally around 80% for the best result. Low humidity conditions will lead to leaf curling or browning of edges. Maintain regular misting or use a humidifier to maintain an ideal humidity balance.

Watering: To keep Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’ healthy, you need to ensure that there is consistent moisture in the environment and soil. However, water sparingly to avoid waterlogging conditions, as it will rot the roots. While overwatering will lead to root rot, underwatering will wilt the leaves, causing them to droop.

Air circulation: While you need to maintain humidity, gentle airflow is necessary to prevent mold and fungal issues.

Trimming: To encourage bushier and compact growth, trim the plant regularly. Remove the leggy stems and yellow or damaged leaves. These maintenance activities will promote healthy and fuller growth of the plant.

Other requirements: There is no need to add extra fertilizers in the soil for Fittonia albivenis ‘Red’. You can still use diluted fertilizer once a month in the growing season (spring and summer) to get better foliage. Do not add too many fertilizers as it may cause root rot.
