Troubleshooting Exotic Angel Plants from Home Depot

Nana lost several Exotic Angel plants (Hoya, creeping fig, devil's ivy) from Home Depot. Soil stayed wet forever despite weekly watering.

Common Issues with Big-Box Plants

• Quality varies; not always from top growers.
• Oversized pots are the #1 cause of soil staying wet too long – roots can't use moisture fast enough, leading to rot.
• Repotting usually makes things worse.

Watering by Species

• Peace lily: Water when surface feels almost dry.
• Hoya: Let soil dry at least halfway down the pot.

Critical Factor: Light

Insufficient light kills plants regardless of watering. Most indoor plants need bright, indirect light near a window.

Match watering to each plant's needs, ensure proper pot size, and prioritize light.
