Fittonia varieties

One of the common varieties: small-leaf white Fittonia

This is one of the more common types of Fittonia, and this Fittonia has smaller leaves, and the whole plant is also relatively short. But also because of the white color of the leaves plus the amazing texture, many gardening enthusiasts have it in their collections.

One of the common varieties: large Fittonia

Large Fittonia is also one of the Fittonia types. It is precisely because this kind has larger leaves and its appearance is not very different from ordinary Fittonia that it got this name.

One of the common varieties: white Fittonia

White Fittonia is not very different from the ordinary kind either, because the leaves of white Fittonia carry a bit of silver, so everyone simply called it white Fittonia. Its leaf stems appear silver-white, and the leaves are still green paired with the texture.

One of the rare varieties: Purple Anne Fittonia

This Fittonia is different from the ordinary kind, with leaves appearing dark green plus purple. The leaf veins become white, and the grid pattern of this Fittonia is quite different from the previous ones; the divisions of this one are very reasonable, simply a beautiful scene of nature.

One of the rare varieties: Forest Flame Fittonia

This Fittonia is red throughout, and since its leaves resemble flames, over time people called it Flame Fittonia. The leaves are relatively slender, appearing ovate or feather-like.

After introducing the general varieties of Fittonia, it is time for the cultivation tips that every gardening enthusiast is looking forward to.

Fittonia cultivation tips: Fittonia likes to be in a relatively warm environment, so when cultivating it, special attention needs to be paid to the temperature. Usually it is best to keep it at around 24 degrees Celsius, and in winter it should also be kept above 15 degrees Celsius.

The time for giving Fittonia sunlight also needs attention; it should not be too long or too short. According to the sunlight level in your own home, 2 hours a day should be enough.

As for watering, it is best to keep it at around twice a day, but since this can cause waterlogging, the soil chosen needs to have good drainage. If that really does not work, making a few holes in the bottom of the flowerpot is also fine. When fertilizing Fittonia, you can fertilize once every half a month, and the location of fertilization is also very particular; this depends on whether the fertilizer solution you bought is for the roots or for the leaf surface.
