The plant does not tolerate a sharp cold snap, drafts and even simple airing, so in the cold season, when opening the window, take care of the "python" and cover it with polyethylene. Do not take a pot of fittonia on the balcony, terrace or loggia, even if it's warm outside.

Fittonia loves timely and regular watering. In the hot season, moisten the substrate in the pot at least twice a week, or even more often. For irrigation take a clean soft water, always at room temperature. In the autumn-winter period, the plant is watered less often - once every 5 or 6 days.
