Introducing ‘Dispatch’ – the nerve plant that’s redefining beauty with its stunning lime green leaves and bold pink veining! Unlike its counterparts, the pink accents on ‘Dispatch’ don’t just highlight the veins—they spread out into the edges of the leaves, creating a gorgeous pink hue that’s almost more pink than green. Talk about a showstopper!
This plant thrives in bright light and loves a little humidity, making it the perfect addition to a sunny spot or a humid room like a bathroom. If you’re looking for a plant that’s as vibrant as it is low-maintenance, ‘Dispatch’ is the perfect pick to add a pop of color and style to your home. Let its beauty steal the spotlight!

Care Information
- Temperature: For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Light: Nerve plants prefer bright areas but direct sunlight will scorch the leaves, a well-lit windowsill or patio door with indirect sun are good options.
- Humidity: They need moderate to high levels of humidity with leaf damage occurring when humidity levels drop. A pebble tray or frequent misting may help add humidity if needed, but a humidifier is a better option.
- Placement: Avoid cold drafts and direct airflow from heaters in the winter months as very dry air can cause leaf drop.
- Water: Nerve plants also prefer to have consistently moist, but not soggy soils. If it gets too dry it will dramatically "faint" or wilt, but will bounce back after watering. Aim to provide a consistent schedule and water when the top inch of soil is dry.
- Soil: Add some perlite and/or orchid bark to help fluff up the potting mix and provide better drainage.
- Growing: Feed once per month at half strength when plant is actively growing
