Bummer: The for loop should be between </h1> and <div>.

What does this error mean ? Isn't it already in between </h1> and <div> ?

Hey Jorge Grajeda 👋

You'll want to have a look at how you're naming the variable you're iterating over. Currently you're giving it the same name as the list of plants instead of giving it a single plant name. This is what throws the tests off 🙂

After that adjustment you'll also want to have a look at the h2 and p text contents as they are currently the static strings of "Plant Type" and "Plant Status" while the challenge asks to replace those with the values for the specific plant you're iterating over 🙂

Hope this helps! 😃
