Oh man, I watched this because I thought I'd killed my new nerve plant, but turns out I just wasn't giving him enough water! He'd just fainted like a tiny diva

[marivel]

we love a drama queen plant!! my nerve plant is my everything but i cant get over how dramatic they are when they faint hehe ♥

I have the toughest Nerve plant on the planet. I got it 2 years ago. I water it once a week and have it in my home office. In two years I have never misted or fed it. I am a neglectful plant parent, but I swear he's doing wonderful. Thank you for the info. I'm considering propagating him in the near future or possibly dividing him up into two separate pots. Could use some advise on how to do that.

Just bought my first nerve plant! This video has definitely helped me feel more confident navigating the drama.

I have two Fittonia I found that using a wicking system works very well. Saves me from worrying about overwatering!

Thank you for posting this video! I have a red-veined fittonia named Peace that I received a few days ago. I've been enjoying researching how to care for her.

So helpful you touched all points. I like that this plant has personality especially yours with the lean

[tributedistrict]

I have a fittonia and 3 peace lilies, the biggest drama queens ever 😂😂 Love them all tho

[Galadhwen]

I, too, came here because my plant had fainted and I was freaking out. Especially because the week after has been rainy, so not as much light, and he has taken FOREVER to park up again. Ugh. Still love him, though.

I did the same thing the first time my nerve plant fainted 😭😭 I wanted to cry!!!

I have two. They both seem to be doing well. My green one seems to be healthy and getting larger (although slowly). The pink one seems healthy, but not growing much. It doesn't have tons of stems though so maybe that's why.
They definitely don't do well in direct sunlight. I had them on my table thinking they needed better light, but the sun comes in pretty good there. Some leaves got bleached. The pink one got extremely pink. The only other issue i have with them is they get brown tips sometimes due to dry air.

Omg i literally had the same experience that you went thru as a beginner fittonia owner.. its growing and growing. Also i kept it outside where there's plenty but not directly under the sun and because i live in south east asia, Malaysia

i bought one small plant like this and put her in leka, lets hope it will grow

[maribellerma]

Hi, I just bought my first house plant, Fittonia just two weeks ago. At first all is well, but I noticed that the leaves are somewhat wilted like half of the leaf (top part), I already watered it but it is not perking up. Not sure if it is humidity because some of the leaves are curling but there are new leaves forming so I know it is not dead. But not sure what is wrong 😭. From the top, it looks healthy but from the side the leaves are curling

[Spikeybud]

I am thinking about getting one, so this video was really helpful :)

[taymasalmo]

I also have a fittonia and it is leaning just like yours

[hatefmalekian]

My nerve is not in a good mood I think I over water it, I just saw your video, there there are still some new leaves I hope I can bring him back
