A small, compact houseplant. Fittonia is highly valued for the texture and color of its foliage. The color of its leaves contrasts with its veins. The 'White Anne' variety has elongated leaves and changes color depending on its maturity. The leaves may appear completely white and gradually take on a green hue. To maintain its compact, plump shape, it is recommended to pinch the tips of the stems. In its natural habitat, it grows in the shade of trees in tropical forests.
