Terracotta is not a great pot material for nerve plants. It pulls moisture away from the roots.
They are also very high humidity plants and it is extremely difficult to meet their needs in an ordinary home environment. They do great in terrariums. You could even do a makeshift one by placing a mason jar or clear cup right over the pot. Even a ziplock bag works. If you do that she'll perk right back up in a day or two. ❤️

@SuperbRaspfern I will that. What do people do when the plant gets to big to grow in a terrarium? Are they fast growers? Someone told me they grow wide.
They grow like crazy when you put them in there. I give mine a good pruning every 2 weeks or so and they root very easily if you just stick the cut ends back in the soil. I have prop boxes full of them because they grow so good. Super easy to care for once you stick them in a container though! They also have very cute flowers! I keep mine in glass Anchor Hocking 1 gallon glass cookie jars that I get at Wal Mart for $10. They fit really good in them. I can also keep the lids just barely cracked with those. I took the lids off for photos. They do grow fast but with pruning they become very full and pretty.
@LilMack931 my red Fittonia plant always does that when it’s thirsty. I have mine inside an indoor greenhouse with grow lights. No humidifier in that room. I also have a few props that are just sitting in my prop station with no humidifier, only grow lights. The props are growing like crazy. I have one in glazed clay or ceramic pot and the others are in plastic pots.
