Nerve Plant yellow leaves

A few leaves may yellow after a dry wilt even though the stems have lifted again. Repeated yellowing while the pot stays wet needs a root check.

Keep the root ball lightly moist

Water evenly as the surface starts to dry and remove runoff. A small pot suits fittonia’s modest roots better than a large wet volume of unused mix.

If leaves keep yellowing with soft stems, inspect roots and remove rot. In a dark position, provide brighter filtered light. Keep partly green leaves and remove spent ones without tearing their delicate stems.
