Nerve Plant- Silver
Normally cozying up as a trendy indoor buddy, the nerve plant (Fittonia albivenis) is a tiny evergreen with striking dark-green leaves sporting delicate veins. These leaves often flaunt silver-white veins but can also rock a sassy mix of red, pink, white, and green. Growing only 3 to 6 inches tall but spreading out like a leafy carpet up to 18 inches, Fittonia is your go-to buddy for slow and steady vibes, occasionally surprising you with dainty reddish or yellowish-white blooms indoors. In the right spot, it can even moonlight as a shady ground cover, adding a touch of green glam to your space!
