Fittonia Dispatch (Verschaffeltii Pink)
Product Details
Fittonia albivenis
Network News ‘Dispatch’ is the pink counterpart to Network News ‘Media’ with low-growing, creeping leaves of lime green with pink veining. Unlike most nerve plants, the pink veining on ‘Dispatch’ bleeds into the margins of the leaves, giving the appearance of a plant that is almost more pink than green. Like other Fittonias, ‘Dispatch’ loves bright light and humidity.
Height/Habit: 4-8" Spreading
Light Requirement: High, Medium or Low
Low - No direct sun, not near a window. Medium - Medium bright indirect light in the AM or PM, typically from an east or west window. High - Bright direct or indirect light for much of the day, typically from a south window.
Water Requirements: Begonias prefer moist, but not soggy soil. Be sure to water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage
Soil Requirements: use an all-purpose potting mix, with orchid bark and perlite added to ensure good drainage.
Tips and Tricks:
- Nerve Plants do require more care than other houseplants, as they require consistent levels of light, temperature, and humidity to keep them thriving. Their leaves will be a good indicator of what they may need:
- Drooping, wilting leaves + dry soil = more water needed.
- Yellowing leaves + soggy soil = less water needed or more drainage needed.
- Leaves dropping = could be an indication that they are in a drafty or cold spot.
- Drying, browning leaves & tips = could be an indication that they are receiving too much direct sunlight or not enough humidity.
- Make great terrarium plants!!
