+Appear as a short plant with lush green leaves with accented veins of white to deep pink and have a short fuzz covering its stems. Small buds may appear after time where the stem splits into leaves. Flowers are small with a white to off-white color. This plant is best kept in a moist area with mild sunlight and temperatures above 55°F. Must be watered regularly. Without water for a few days, this plant is known to "faint" but is easily revived with a quick watering and resumes its healthiness. The Fittonia is known to be hard to grow so it is best bought at a nursery then cared for. The Fittonia makes a great indoor plant as well as a groundcover.

 The following is F. albivenis, according to GRIN:
-Fittonia argyroneura, E. Coem. Fig. 1508. Dwarf: lvs. dark, shining green. F.S. 16:1664. Gn. 36, p. 527; 2, p. 319. G. 11:7.— The velvetiness of the upper surface of verschaffeltii is due to large projecting epidermal cells with an apical nucleus. Instead of these characteristic cells, F. argyroneura has small cells and conical hairs, which are partitioned off and have tubercles at the base.
