This is La Princessa, my pink nerve plant, and the plant Iβve had the longestβsheβs been with me since I moved into this house in September, the start of my plant journey. She is easily one of my favorite plants, though we struggled intensely for several months. But I learned her quirks and she has doubled in size under my care. Itβs so rewarding when you get a plant to really thrive. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NervePlant #plantamigos #FavoritePlants #colorfulplants #Fittonia

@LaSiguanaba yeah ππ» RoseRed.. happy dance on that for sure!! πΊβ€οΈπ
@Ninabeena Thanks! We had a love/hate relationship for a while, but now weβre all good! π
@CourtlyKingfern You bet!!! ππ»
Beautiful, she looks very pink π. @LaSiguanaba do you any tips you have learnt that you can share? I keep struggling with these.
@TheLonelyDaff Thanks! The most important thing with nerve plants is to make sure the soil never dries out. You donβt want it soaking, but it needs to stay damp constantly. Also, keeping it in bright, indirect light helps keep the color vibrant. I have also been using We the Wild products, so perhaps that is helping as well. Some friends and I are starting a podcast on plant care soon, and one of our early episodes will cover nerve plants! Stay tuned!!! ππ
@SmileyGrass Thanks! Me too! π
@Plantaholic78 Nerve plants can be trickyβ¦ it took me several month to get mine to keep from wilting every time I looked at it, π. But Iβve mostly struck a good balance with water and light at this point. Fingers crossed π€π½
@LaSiguanaba I'll keep an ear out π
@LaSiguanaba that plant had a real nerve to be so temperamental!
@Seymour Yes, this plant really is quite nervy!!! π
@LaSiguanaba so what type of lighting are you using for this plant ?
@Seymour It is kind of far from an east facing window, so I supplement it with a growlight for about 8hrs a day.
@TastyForkedrush Itβs a great plant! πͺ΄
@Cozy_dai I know what you mean about the love/hate relationship π It took me forever to learn how to water this plant, and keep it from fainting! Good luck!!!
