"Nerve Plant: A Comprehensive Care Guide"
Discover the secrets to nurturing the beautiful and delicate Nerve Plant! Our comprehensive care guide provides all the tips and tricks you need to keep this striking plant thriving, whether you're a novice gardener or an experienced plant enthusiast.
The Nerve Plant, scientifically known as Fittonia albivenis, is a popular houseplant celebrated for its stunning, intricately veined leaves. These tropical beauties, native to the rainforests of South America, bring a touch of elegance and vibrancy to any indoor space. With proper care, you can enjoy the lush foliage of Nerve Plants year-round. Here's everything you need to know to keep your Nerve Plant healthy and flourishing.
Light
Nerve Plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their delicate leaves, so it's best to place them near a north or east-facing window where they can enjoy filtered light. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but their growth may slow, and their vibrant colors might fade.
Watering
Nerve Plants prefer consistently moist soil but are sensitive to overwatering. Water them thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring excess water drains away to prevent root rot. They enjoy high humidity, so misting the leaves regularly or placing the pot on a humidity tray can help maintain the moisture they crave. During winter, reduce watering frequency slightly to match the plant's slower growth rate.

Hannah's Challenge
I joined Vocal two years ago, a prick of enthusiasm beseeching me to throw caution to the wind, pay the readies and have a stab at a long stagnated pleasure. It worked remarkably well. I dipped in my toe, finding the water a little cooler than I had hoped, but as I stood there up to my ankles, I realised it was rather invigorating, and by the time I was up to my knees, it was pleasingly tepid. I dove in and swam out to where others were tossing balls about and wrestling over lilos and proceeded to have a whale of a time splashing about, sometimes missing my footing or getting water in my eye, but sometimes turning elegant somersaults and graceful dives.

My Articles Have Gotten 400k Views in 6 Months. I’m Still Broke
Sometimes you write an article so depressing, you need to set the scene before actually getting into it: Martin Vidal sits alone on a wooden chair in a dimly lit room. A solitary overhead light reveals his silhouette but his facial features are hidden in the shadows. He swipes a match against his pant leg and lights a cigarette with it. You get a momentary glimpse of his face before the light of the flame is extinguished. He takes a hard pull from the cigarette, and lets out a long, exasperated exhale before beginning to speak.
