# So I've got one of them fancy angel wing plants recently and am…

So I've got one of them fancy angel wing plants recently and am considering repotting him into better soil. But he's got a cute little ecosystem living on top of him and I'm kinda not wanting to get rid of it cuz I love the look... Is this okay to leave on him? Or is this bad stuff to have around your plants? I love moss so I'm sad to see it go if that's the case, but I want the plant to be healthy. Please advise! This is my first outdoor plant. I live in Canada/BC and I've been keeping him indoors... Mainly cuz I don't really like bugs in my plants and there's fewer inside haha... Is this also a bad thing to do for an outside annual? Aren't all plants supposed to be outdoor plants? Why can't I keep this one inside ? 🤔

The moss should be fine. If you do want to transfer him to a knew pot. Just scoop the moss out, like an inch or two below the surface, and place it in the new pot, after you get the angel wing situated. I personally love moss in pots, it's so pretty

Yeah me too! I am super new to all this so I wasn't sure if moss on top of the soil would harm the plant or something. I'm excited to keep it ahaha

No, it's great. It's also usually more delicate than the plant, so if it starts browning, you can investigate what's going on before the plant starts having issues.
