Hi guys!
I’ve recently got a Nerve Plant (Fittonia) and I decided to keep it in an open terrarium. So I was just wondering if this is a good idea and if anyone had tips and advice on how to grow nerve plant in terrarium. Below you can find my little cute terrarium.
Thank you very much in advance to everyone will take the time to answer!

The challenge with an open, non-draining terrarium* is getting the water and nutrient levels correct. Water lightly to keep the soil mix damp like a wrung-out sponge. Fertilize sparingly and infrequently. Check that levels are near optimal by observing the sub-surface soil conditions through the glass. If things begin to go downhill, do not hesitate to replant with fresh soil.

*A draining terrarium is just a glass pot, and a sealed terrarium is another topic.
