Description
Common Name: Nerve plant
Family Name: Acanthaceae
Approximate Height: can grow up to 12" tall with proper care
Colour:
- Foliage: Green leaves with pinkish/red veins
- Blooms: Small yellow flowers.
Light Requirements: Medium to bright indirect light. North or east facing room will work well. If in a west or south facing room, make sure it isn't too close to the window as too much light can cause the leaves to scorch.
Water Requirements: Prefers moist soil and will "faint" if allowed to dry out but will recover quickly when watered. repeated "fainting" will take a toll on the plants health, avoid letting the plant get too wet or sit in water as that will cause the leaves to yellow and die.
