Hello, Hive friends, hope everything is fine.
This time I want to show again one type of ornamental plant that is different from usual, namely Fittonia Episcia Mutiara or better known as the Fish Scales plant around where I live in Indonesia. But there are also those who name this plant with the name Nerve Plant because of its shape like the flow of blood in the human body. Maybe another place, a different name.
Indeed, this beautiful plant that is still from the Acanthaceae family is rarely heard in our sense of hearing. But that doesn't mean we've never seen it. This ornamental plant originating from its natural habitat in South America, is famous for its unique and beautiful foliage, dark green with bone stripes that are white or red, depending on the species.
Indeed, this ornamental plant is not as familiar as other indoor plants, be it aloe vera, aloe-in-law, anthurium, aglonema, and lavender or others. But keep in mind that if you want to decorate your home with ornamental plant decorations, then this ornamental plant is the right choice.
Indeed, this plant is a little spoiled for care, and a little sensitive to temperature, and requires stable conditions to grow properly. This ornamental plant is very fond of dim light and can not stand cold temperatures. In addition, this plant must also be watered when the soil surface begins to dry out. This houseplant likes moist soil and moist air, and its foliage will look more beautiful at high humidity levels.
Just a suggestion, before planting this beautiful ornamental plant, it is better if you first study the character of this ornamental plant in order to get maximum results like Fittonia Episcia Mutiara, mine!
Hopefully friends are happy and enjoy it. There is satisfaction and pride every time you like it.
Keep up the spirit and enjoy your day.
Love, Seha76!
