Fittonia Tiger is a striking choice. It features a bold, white striped pattern that contrasts beautifully against its dark green foliage, making it an absolute eye-catcher for any indoor collection .
Tiger Selling Tips
High-Contrast Beauty: Market the "Tiger" for its dramatic, high-contrast white stripes. It’s perfect for customers who want a plant that stands out as a decorative focal point . Small Space Specialist: This variety is a champion for high-density programs and small pots. It’s a natural fit for tabletops and windowsills where space is at a premium . Pet-Friendly Choice: Just like other Fittonias, it’s non-toxic to cats and dogs. That’s a huge relief for pet owners looking to add some green to their homes . Terrarium Star: Because it loves high humidity and stays compact, it’s a "must-have" for terrariums and indoor miniature gardens .
General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
Warmth is Essential: Keep your greenhouse between 70°F and 86°F for the best growth . If temperatures dip below 70°F, be prepared for your crop time to slow down quite a bit . Manage Your Light: These plants thrive in shade or bright, indirect light (500–1,500 fc) . Watch out—if the light is too intense, they’ll stunt and you might see some leaf burn . Humidity and Water: They love it sticky! Aim for 50-70% humidity . Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to let them sit in standing water, as their sensitive roots can be easily damaged . Feeding: Use a moderate constant feed program of 75-125 ppm Nitrogen . They are sensitive to salt buildup, so it’s a good idea to leach your media regularly to prevent leaf burn .
Pinching
You generally don't need to pinch these because they have a naturally compact, mounding habit . However, an optional pinch can be done if you need to shape the plant or manage a bit of stretch .
Spacing
For a 4-inch pot, we recommend planting about 5 liners per container to ensure you get that full, high-quality "retail-ready" look .
Pests
Stay vigilant for aphids, thrips, and fungus gnats . Thrips are a particular concern as they can distort the beautiful foliage .
Disease
The main risks are Xanthomonas (bacterial leaf spot) and Botrytis.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
