Wissenschaftlicher Name
Fittonia verschaffeltii (Fittons Pflanze, Verschaffelts Sorte) 'Red Angel'

Gemeinsamen Namen
Weiße Nervenpflanze, Mosaikpflanze, Silber-Fittonie, Silbernerv, Silberfäden, Silbernetzpflanze, Schlangenhautpflanze, Nervenpflanze

Herkunft
Heimisch in den tropischen Regenwäldern Südamerikas, insbesondere Kolumbiens und Perus.

Beschreibung
Nervenpflanzen gehören zu den auffälligsten Pflanzen in unserem Sortiment. Ihre leuchtende Panaschierung erinnert an Spinnweben, Flussbetten, Netze und Nerven. Sie mögen gleichmäßige Wasser- und Feuchtigkeitsniveaus und gedeihen sowohl als Terrarienpflanzen als auch in eigenen Töpfen. Jeder Topf enthält eine kleine Gruppe von Fittonia-Pflanzen, die zusammenwachsen und einen buschigen Hügel aus leuchtendem Laub bilden. Diese Sorte weist ein Nervensystem aus leuchtend rosafarbenen Linien auf dunkelgrünen Blättern auf.

Licht

Helles, indirektes Licht funktioniert am besten; wenn Sie bemerken, dass die unteren Blätter Ihrer Fittonia gelb werden, könnte ihr wahrscheinlich etwas mehr Licht guttun.

Wasser
Gießen Sie, wenn die Erde auszutrocknen beginnt, damit sie gleichmäßig feucht bleibt. Achten Sie darauf, dass Ihre Nervenpflanze nicht mit nassen Wurzeln an einem dunkleren Ort oder im Winter steht, da dies zu Problemen führen kann. Wenn sie etwas zu trocken werden, verwelken Nervenpflanzen dramatisch. Wenn Sie darauf achten und gießen, sobald Sie es bemerken, sollten sie sofort wieder auf die Beine kommen!


Feuchtigkeit
Fittonia gedeiht bei höherer Luftfeuchtigkeit. Sie können sie also besprühen oder eine Kiesschale aufstellen, damit sie ausreichend feucht bleiben. Gelegentliches Besprühen verhindert außerdem, dass die Blätter staubig werden!

Boden
Verwenden Sie einen gut durchlässigen, aber feuchtigkeitsspeichernden Boden, vielleicht mit zusätzlichem Perlite oder Kokosfasern. Eine für Calatheas oder Marantas entwickelte Mischung eignet sich hier gut. Topfen Sie Ihre Pflanzen alle paar Jahre um, während sie wachsen. In breiten, flachen Töpfen wachsen sie schneller, da sie daran gewöhnt sind, am Boden entlang zu kriechen.

Essen
In der Wachstumsperiode alle drei Wassergaben, im Herbst und Winter auf alle vier Wassergaben reduzieren. Zum Schutz der Wurzeln vor dem Düngen gießen!

Temperatur
Die Idealtemperatur liegt bei 18-24°C, achten Sie darauf, dass es im Winter nicht kälter als 15°C wird.

Haustiersicher
Ja, aber zu viel Knabbern ist weder für Haustiere noch für kleine Menschen oder die Pflanze gut!

Die besten Tipps für Sprouts
Achten Sie auf Anzeichen von zu viel oder zu wenig Wasser an den Blättern Ihrer Fittonia. Sie werden in jedem Fall welken; Sie können feststellen, welches Problem vorliegt, indem Sie die Erde prüfen. Fühlt sie sich feucht an oder ist sie feucht, wenn Sie leicht auf die Oberseite drücken, wurde sie zu viel gegossen und muss austrocknen; fühlt sich der Topf leicht an und die Erde knochentrocken, muss sie gut gegossen werden.

Wussten Sie?
Der Name dieser Pflanze ist „Fitton“ zu Ehren von Elizabeth und Sarah Mary Fitton, den Autorinnen des im 19. Jahrhundert erschienenen Buches „Conservations on Botany“.

 

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.

We use paper tape and all our branded materials included are fully recyclable. Sometimes we use polystyrene, bubble wrap or plastic wrap in the packaging, all these items are not new and where possible, please use them again.

Letter from the founder - September 2024 - Sprouts of Bristol
This month we have been busier than expected, which is obviously amazing. We have worked with some amazing businesses, including a very nice doughnut cafe thats opened on College Green that you need to check out. We have welcomed Jazz to the team, she's already settling in amazingly. And we look forward to the end of the year for that ever so special quarter that is very very important to retailers like us up and down the country.
