I have one at home, grown from cuttings I have... ah... <i>aquired</i> at work, despite being warned it doesn't like getting dry, but so far it's done just fine.

What a beautiful plant.<br /><br />Don't worry about Fittonia albivenis. I grew one for years and every now and then I would forget to water it. It would droop miserably but bounce back fairly quickly after I watered it. It was quite interesting to watch and it's possible I may have deprived it of water on purpose at times just toPlowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-50401013577808709342009-08-12T06:11:11.099-07:002009-08-12T06:11:11.099-07:00Well, in theory, I already have a second blog (htt...Well, in theory, I already have a second blog (http://pickaplant.blogspot.com/), with which I've been trying to do something useful for a couple years now.
