i love your picture of the pink star plant. I would like to know what you do to take care of it. I bought one about a month ago from Lowes and it is slowly dying. I have kept it watered and tried keeping it in a window sill to my kitchen island, trying to adjust the amount of light it takes. It seems to be wilting although i am keeping it watered. I dont want to water it to the point it rots. Any help? I really like the plant, it is so unusual and pretty with the pink veins.

Mine wilts at least once a week. =( But when I water it, it perks up within hours. I think it needs to be watered (not a lot) OFTEN!
Also... mine probably needs to be potted up and maybe it won't dry out so fast!

Fittonias also require quite high humidity. They're best used in Terrariums.
