How often are you guys watering your white anne? I think Annie may need more frequent waterings then the app suggests. Looks like she needs watering every week not every 2 weeks #Fittonia

#HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Fittonia Wow!! I took a few cuttings from my mother nerve plant, Frazzle Dazzle on 5th Jan. Pita who I planted directly in coco coir with no roots had new growth 3 weeks in so I’m sure she has roots now! I’m going to have to repot her in new soil soon. Now I wait for the water props named Jitters to fully root! I have a few but they aren’t ready just yet!

White mold growth in terrarium? Hello fellow plant people!! I've got several terrariums in my in home oasis. My two largest are glass fish tanks (one 5 gallon, one 10 gallon) with various plants, mosses, cute little decor that not living, with glass/plastic covers. They do pretty well, however, I just noticed some white mold on my fittonia, and in the other, fluffy white mold on some lichen I have living in there as well. I've done a lot of reading on how mold is a common terrarium problem and typically more of a nuisance than a threat but I'm worried about my fittonias nonetheless!! Aside from opening the terrariums for a while (and stop over misting thinking they're not ok 🤦♀️), is there anything I can do to preserve the life of my fittonia before it damages it??
