I couldn't help but look them all up. You can grow guava indoors?

I had to do the reverse lookup to find out what they are 🙂

Not 100% sure it's a guava plant but all signs point to yes, I was surprised by that too. I don't think it's going to fruit unless I replant it outside and give it 3 years!

Next time I go the plant shop I will ask them what I'm getting to be double sure. The Fittonia is not doing well, probably helps to know how to take care of them.

fwiw I've learned to opt for the lowest maintenance plants for the light I have available. I always find a way to over/underwater or over/underfertilize or forget my water has a non-neutral ph. Many of the coolest looking plants are the hardest to take care of.

I'm hoping someone will CRISPR some kind of easy to understand communication mechanism into plants at some point or just make them harder to kill.
