Hi Merme,
Have you got a photo or a better description? Angel is a patented brand name for some Hedera ivies. That 's the only angel ivy I know of.

As you can see from the photo in the above post, this plant has NOT done well in the past month.
It was placed on a plant stand in a corner by an East facing window that receives very filtered light.
Because of it's height in the room, it was also very hard for me to water it there.
When I noticed the leaves starting to get pale, I had someone move it for me to my kitchen which is bright and faces Southwest. Also, because of it's new location, I can attend to it better.
So I've cut off all the dead stuff that I could and gave it a good drink, but I can't say that it is looking any better yet.
Does anyone know what this plant is? And how I should be caring for it?
Oh and a HUGE THANK YOU to AFGREY for formatting the photo and posting it for me. She had so little to work with and did a spectacular job!

Hi Merme,
I was going to say that it might be an Aeschynanthus, but the leaves on yours alternate along the stem rather than grow in pairs. It might be a species of Peperomia, but the stems seem a bit too thin and flexible. Hoya is another possibility, but the leaf shape isn't quite right and I don't know if the leaves on yours are leathery.
So I am stumped. Perhaps someone else has a better idea.

I'm kinda new to all of this but so far in my plant experience, I've nearly killed both ivy types I have and have since brought them back to somewhat vigorous health.
what kind of light do you have it in?
how much are you watering it?

I do think it is an ivy. Maybe it is Royal hustler ivy? What do you think?

You are right: the plant in the photo of the link you posted does look very similar.
Whatever this plant really is, I'd like to save it if possible.

Search The Garden Helper:
It has very delicate, smoothe leaves, about 1 inch long and not very wide.
Is this a real ivy? Any idea what its right name is? How to care for it?
