How to Care for the Plant

Water
As we had mentioned earlier in this article, it is usually best to water an Exotic Angel about once per week. Younger individuals should be given more moisture with about two to three watering sessions weekly. After about twenty days or so, you can continue with a routine schedule that will keep the soil moist
Fertilizer
Fertilize your Exotic Angel Plant once a month with a fertilizer that is one part nitrogen, two parts phosphorus and one part potassium. Always fertilize your plant the day after you water it.
Temperature
Being a houseplant by nature, the recommended temperatures for exotic angel plants are from 60 to 85°F. You are already growing them in the greenhouse, which makes this temperature easy to maintain. Those who have the plants inside their homes can face challenges as the room temperature can fluctuate.
