A small houseplant with a compact habit. Fittonia is very appreciated for the relief and coloring of its foliage. The 'Skeleton' variety has foliage that can vary from green to yellow which contrasts with its red veins. In order to maintain its compact and chubby appearance, it is recommended to pinch the tips of the stems. In natural habitat, it grows in the shade of trees in tropical forests.

Les détails, sur chacune des feuilles d’un vert tendre, sont sublimes . De belles nervures de couleur rose/rouge m’éblouissent à chaque fois que je la regarde. Quelle beauté !
