Add a splash of colour to your terrarium or home with this vibrant Fittonia Mosaic Skeleton, also known as the Ruby Lime nerve plant (Fittonia albivenis ‘Skeleton’). This compact mosaic plant features lime‑green leaves veined with striking ruby‑red patterns, making it a true eye‑catcher in miniature landscapes and living ecosystem displays.
Terrarium favourite, easy houseplant
Because it thrives in humid conditions, the Fittonia Skeleton is the perfect terrarium plant. It stays low and bushy and happily shares space with mosses, ferns and other tropical species. Outside a terrarium, this nerve plant will also brighten up your desk or shelf; just keep the soil evenly moist and provide bright, indirect light.
Supplied in an 8.5 cm nursery pot.

As plants need water and light to thrive they'll need to be looked after. Once you receive your parcel, simply place the plants in indirect light and water them when the soil becomes dry. The plants can be wrapped before being gifted. As long as the plants are properly cared for, the terrarium can be made at any convenient time.
