Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Skeleton' is a distinctive variety of Fittonia, also often called a nerve plant because of its prominent veined leaves. This variant is notable for its foliage, where white or silver veins create a skeleton-like pattern, hence the name 'Skeleton'. These veins contrast sharply with the dark green background of the leaves, providing a captivating and dramatic visual effect.

Origin: Like other Fittonias, 'Skeleton' comes from the tropical rainforests of Peru, where these plants thrive under dense forest canopies, benefiting from high humidity and filtered light.

Growth: Fittonia 'Skeleton' is a creeping ground-cover plant that grows compactly and spread out. It is perfect for use in terrariums, fairy gardens or simply as a table or desk plant, thanks to its low habit and moderate growth.

Flowers: The flowers of Fittonia 'Skeleton' are small and unspectacular, usually white or cream, and appear on inconspicuous spikes. They are not the main attraction of this plant, which is grown for its decorative foliage.

Light: This variety prefers indirect or filtered light, with no direct sunlight to burn the leaves or fade the vibrant colors of its veins.

Watering: Fittonia 'Skeleton' requires regular watering, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, especially in indoor environments.

Substrate: A well-draining potting mix is ideal. Use a perlite-enriched houseplant substrate to ensure adequate drainage while retaining the necessary moisture.

Toxicity: Like most Fittonias, 'Skeleton' is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it safe for use in residential and office spaces.

Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Skeleton' is an excellent option for those looking for an attractive, easy-care houseplant that adds visual texture and depth to their space without requiring a lot of direct sunlight. Its distinct vein pattern and lush foliage make it a popular and aesthetically pleasing addition to any houseplant collection.
