Medium light, never let it go dry. I water when the meter hits 4-5. 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted to half every other watering and it’ll thrive. It’s a crawling plant, won’t grow much taller.

This is a nerve plant, there’s a red version called “Red Anne”. I do not think the leaves should be crunchy. My fiancé barely waters ours but when he does it sits it in the tub so it gets a thorough watering and can drain all the excess water.
They appreciate lots of humidity. Extremely dramatic when you haven’t watered it soon enough.

I think it’s Fittonia. I have a similar plant , variety White Tiger, very short and dense. It needs moist soil and humidity. Would be happier in a terrarium, but I keep it by my kitchen sink and it is ok with daily spritzing.

Fittonia. Yours is not as close to death as it wants you to believe.

Fittonia or nerve plant. The leaves can be a bit papery but should not be crispy or crunchy. Loves a good water and humidity.
