Is there any drainage? Like rocks in the bottom or holes… one of my plants was wilting from that I believe. Also if your plant was just repotted, it could be in shock.. so give it a few days and let it do it’s thing, hopefully it should pop back up!!

I have to say, I’ve been having trouble with my Fittonia as well. It could be they’re just very finicky plants. Hope you have better luck than me. I started with 4 and after 2 died I managed to propagate 1 before it completely died. Now both of them seem to be hanging by a thread.

It looks like that pot is too big and the water is all the way at the bottom, and that the roots are not long enough to replenish the Red Vein Plant. They also require a pot with drainage. The plant looks too small for that container.

this is so helpful thank you!

Although you water it  
When Planta tells you, you may water it in too large of quantity. It looks pretty wet, and unless it is just an overcast day, you may have to move it to a slightly lighter area. Doesn’t look too bad though, keep up the good work!
