I recently acquired a fittonia and I know that these plants are difficult to care for, so I would like some help from more experienced gardeners.

I work the night shift so it's necessary for me to keep dark shades on my windows. Very little light passes through. These guys prefer indirect sunlight, but will they survive in complete shade? If not, could I use an artificial light and point it directly at it, maybe a farther-than-usual distance away from it?
Also, I have it in a terrarium with no drainage. Should I put pebbles at the bottom to help with this?
