# At this point, I just don’t think I can raise a nerve plant. This…

_Posted by Lj on 2024-05-23_

At this point, I just don’t think I can raise a nerve plant.  
This plant used to be so bushy. It started getting leggy. So I pruned it. Now it’s leggy steel and I’m trying to get it back. Bushy. I have now placed it inside my shower so it can get better humidity daily when I shower.

Somebody please help me .

Can you put it in a dome of sorts? I made my daughter a terrarium from an apothecary jar and I included 3 different colors of nerve plants. She has a grow light that gets exactly 6 hours of light a day and they are growing amazingly.

It’s too leggy for a done

If you can find a clear jar with a lid that you can put it in, it will start growing tighter and you an eventually snip off the legginess. Does that make sense? Here is how my daughter grows - see the difference?!!
