Fittonia

The intricate leaf vein patterns in red, pink, silver, or white provide _Fittonia_ with its common names -- nerve plant or mosaic plant. Ones with white or silver veins are classified as Argyroneura group, while those with red or pink veins are listed as Verschaffeltii group. _Fittonia_'s small size and requirements for medium light, high humidity, and evenly moist soil make it an excellent terrarium plant.
