Skeleton Nerve Plant (Fittonia 'Skeleton')

Few small indoor plants work as hard as the Skeleton Nerve Plant. Every leaf is etched with a dense web of glowing red-pink veins over olive green, turning a plain shelf, terrarium or desk into something people stop and look at.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Skeleton Nerve Plant

✔ Striking veined foliage - vivid pink-red veining covers every leaf for year-round colour indoors.

✔ Compact and tidy - stays low and mounded, perfect where space is tight.

✔ Thrives in low light - happy in the bright-shade spots where most colourful plants sulk.

✔ Terrarium favourite - loves humidity, making it a natural pick for terrariums and bathrooms.

✔ Easy to multiply - cuttings strike readily in water or moist mix.

🏡 How to Use Skeleton Nerve Plant in Your Garden

✅ Terrariums & bowls - the classic centrepiece plant for closed and open terrariums.

✅ Desks & shelves - a compact splash of colour for indoor styling.

✅ Bathrooms & kitchens - humid rooms keep the foliage lush and vibrant.

✅ Mixed indoor planters - weaves neatly between larger foliage plants as a living mulch.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Bright, indirect light indoors; no direct sun. Warm rooms above 15°C suit it best.
  • Spacing: Grows to roughly 10-15cm tall and 20-30cm wide; plant 15cm apart in mixed bowls.
  • Best Planting Time: Any time of year indoors across Australia.
  • Watering & Care: Keep the mix lightly moist and never bone dry - it wilts dramatically but revives quickly after a drink. Feed with half-strength liquid fertiliser monthly through the warmer months.

❔ FAQs About Skeleton Nerve Plant

Why has my plant collapsed overnight?
Fittonias faint when they dry out. Water thoroughly and it will usually stand back up within hours. Try to water just before the mix dries completely.

Can I grow it outdoors?
Only in warm, frost-free, sheltered shade in tropical and subtropical areas. In most of Australia it is best treated as an indoor or terrarium plant.

Is it safe around pets?
Fittonia is generally regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it one of the safer choices for colourful indoor foliage.
