Fittonia Mosaic Skeleton 12cm

🌿 Fittonia ‘Mosaic Skeleton’ Care Guide

The Fittonia ‘Mosaic Skeleton’ is a tiny tropical stunner with intricate, vein-like patterns that look almost hand-drawn. Its deep green leaves are laced with striking white (or sometimes pink) veins, giving it that signature “skeleton” look. Small but full of personality, it’s perfect for adding texture and contrast to your plant shelf or terrarium.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light or light shade

• Avoid direct sunlight — it can scorch those delicate leaves

• Does beautifully in terrariums or shaded windowsills

💧 Water

• Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy

• Never let it dry out completely — it’s a drama queen that wilts quickly but bounces back fast

• Loves soft, filtered water if available

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers high humidity (60%+) for lush growth

• Ideal for terrariums, bathrooms, or grouped with other tropical plants

• Mist regularly or use a pebble tray if your home air is dry

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Skip feeding in autumn and winter

🌱 Quick Tips

• Pinch back tips to encourage fuller, bushier growth
