The Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant (Fittonia 'Vibrant Pink') is a captivating houseplant renowned for its beautiful green leaves intricately veined with bright pink. Also known as the Pink Nerve Plant or Mosaic Plant, this tropical beauty originates from the rich rainforests of South America. Its petite size and bright coloration make it an eye-catching addition to any indoor space, including tabletops, shelves, or terrariums. The Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant is easy to care for, non-toxic to pets and children, and guaranteed to add a touch of exotic elegance to your home or office.
Best Locations For Growing Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant
The bright pink nerve plant grows well in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and offices with soft, indirect light. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller spaces such as tabletops, shelves, and terrariums. This plant is an excellent choice for adding color to areas with limited natural light, bringing life and freshness to darker corners. This plant is nontoxic and safe for homes with pets and children.
Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant Sunlight Requirements
This plant performs best in bright indirect light. Position it near east or west-facing windows where it can receive ample filtered sunlight without being exposed to harsh direct rays, which can scorch its delicate leaves. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, maintaining bright indirect light will keep the pink veins stand out and the foliage healthy. Avoid placing it in areas with intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.
Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant Care
Caring for the Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant is simple. Use an acidic, well-draining potting mix enriched with perlite to mimic its natural rainforest habitat and prevent root rot. Choose a small to medium-sized pot with adequate drainage holes to accommodate the plant's compact size. Regularly inspect the plant for any dead or discolored leaves and gently remove them to maintain a tidy appearance. Repot every one to two years or when the plant becomes root-bound to ensure continued healthy growth.
Watering Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant
Keep the soil consistently moist by watering when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can cause the leaves to collapse and lose their coloration. Do not let the plant sit in water to prevent root rot. Signs that your Nerve Plant needs watering include wilting or drooping leaves. To maintain optimal humidity levels, especially in dry indoor environments, mist the leaves regularly or place the pot on a pebble tray filled with water.
Feeding Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant
Fertilize the Vibrant Pink Nerve Plant every six weeks throughout the spring, summer, and fall using a balanced, liquid fertilizer diluted to half the recommended label strength. This provides essential nutrients to support healthy foliage and roots. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to salt buildup and root damage. During the winter months, reduce or stop feeding to allow the plant to rest and conserve energy.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
