Fittonia verschaffeltii

continental : Let’s water these plants only when there are prolonged droughts; if the weather is mild, we can water once every 1-2 weeks, using 125-126 glasses of water, but only if the ground is completely dry.

alpine : During wintry months watering will be sporadic; we suggest irrigating only when the climate is mild and the ground is dry. If the temperatures are very harsh, we can interrupt watering, otherwise let’s act every 2-3 weeks with 124-125 glasses of water.

mediterranean : During the cold months watering takes place only during the mild days, let’s avoid harsh, freezing days, by watering every 0-1 weeks or less with 126-127 glasses of water.

continental : To avoid damage by excessive exposure to the sun it is advisable to grow this plant in a shady place, protected by direct sunrays.

In the winter it’s best to move these plants in the apartment, as they need minimum temperatures above 12-15°C.

Fertilization Fittonia verschaffeltii : It’s not necessary to give fertilizers to apartment plants during the wintry months, since the short days cause a period in which the plants don’t produce any vegetation; we’ll start fertilizing again towards the end of the winter.
