Very nice! I'm not familiar with Fittonia, but I love the leaves on it. Is it a flowering plant and what is the care for it?

It gets small insignificant flowers once in a while but I usually pinch them off. It's a super easy plant, low light, not fussy at all. It spreads by runners and forms kind of like a mat.

Very nice Hoya. I have two both smaller. I started using Superthrive on all my houseplants and cacti. Everyone has noticably grown quicker and way better colors. My larger Hoya has even turned pink on some of the leaves.

thanks for sharing the pictures

I like the Hoyas. I'm still trying my hand at them though not so successful. I have the pink veined fittonia. It does well in a pot in the shade out in the yard. It puts up green shoots that are honeycomb like, and then yellowish small flowers pop out. Its kind of neat really.
I have pictures from Leu Gardens I never posted. There is a honker Hoya in there. The size of a large staghorn fern.
