Fittonia ‘Pink Forest Flame’
Fittonia ‘Pink Forest Flame’ is a vibrant tropical plant prized for its striking foliage and intense pink vein pattern. The deep green leaves are highlighted by bright pink veins that create a dramatic contrast, adding colour and visual interest to terrariums and tropical plant displays.
This variety is a cultivated form of Fittonia albivenis, commonly known as the Nerve Plant due to the bold network of veins that run across the leaves.
