Interesting Facts
☘ The Fittonia Genus is named after Sarah Fitton and Elizabeth Fitton, botanists living in the 19th century. Their work helped make botany, as a field of scientific study, more popular for women.
☘ While many cultivars exist, they all have some type of extreme contrasting or eye-catching veining on the egg-shaped leaves. If you like the look of the Jewel Orchid but want something more compact and shorter, you'll love the Nerve Plant as it doesn't grow tall at all and won't outgrow its pot quickly.
Health Benefits
☘ Air Purifying: The Fittonia plant decreases the carbon dioxide levels from your atmosphere, increases humidity and cleanses the air quality.
☘ Treatment of Many Problems: In the ancient time, some tribes of Ecuadorian Amazon used this plant as treatment of headaches, and muscular pains. The leaves were used as an ingredient of making tea and curing toothache.
