Care and common questions
- Light: Medium to bright, indirect light suits Fittonia 'Pink'; keep it out of harsh direct sun.
- Watering: Keep the soil lightly and evenly moist — Fittonia 'Pink' likes steady moisture and can wilt or crisp if it dries out fully. Don't let it sit in water, and ease off in winter.

- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (about 65–80°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and hot, dry vents.
- Soil: A good, well-draining potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Good to know: It faints dramatically when dry and revives after watering — keep it evenly moist with high humidity to avoid the drama.
