More attempts at plants

I forgot to mention, my Venus flytrap died; I was apparently giving it too much water; though I swear the woman that sold me that and my research said it needed water.
Then I had a small orchid, the flowers dropped naturally enough, but then the leaves fell off too, it was because it didn’t get enough sunlight to dry up the soil... and I had followed instructions to only water when the soul is very dry (like, a tiny bit of water, once a week) and to avoid direct sunlight.
Today I went with my sis to a plant shop, she wanted a succulent. I wanted to try but when I asked the shopkeeper, he said succulents aren’t exactly easy and told me to try this Nerveplant... Fittonia? He said, and I recount, “as long as this gets sunlight and water it’ll grow.” Okay. I believed him, and got this cute The Little Prince pot.

I don’t really like The Little Prince, but this design is cute, reading a book. There was one other where he had the fox with him, but this design was more cute.
Now I’m reading up on the Nerveplant and apparently, yes it needs water but no direct sunlight. So I can’t put it at my window sill. At least, I have to put it away during the better part of the day.
I have no green thumb but I’ll try again!!!!
