You have any ideas on how to grow these Patty? I was suprised to see an entire shippment of exotic plants at the home depot today... they had bromeliads, button ferns, Fittonias, succelents
It was great.. going to add a few to my new viv... just an update on my viv...I sprayed on the great stuff today, tomorrow I'm going to shave it down to size and glue it to the back of the viv with silicon.. then the fun will begin.. the landscaping
I'm stoked

I like Fittonias, which do very well in vivariums, especially those with good light, where they stay more compact. The most commonly used are varieties of F. vershaffeltii, some of which have pink veins instead of white ones. They grow nicely from cuttings. You can just strip off a couple of the lower leaves of a cutting and stuff the stem down into the substrate.

Here's a photo of one of my reticulatus on a Fittonia leaf from a cutting.
