Why clean your leaves?

If you’ve had houseplants for a little while you’ve probably noticed, like all household items, they collect dust.

If you water your plants in your shower you might also noticed hard water spots, calcium deposit, on the leaves.

Wiping the leaves of your plants is beneficial for many reasons. Removing dust and particles allows the plant to receive more sunlight and photosynthesize better. Which in turn will give you a happier, fuller plant. Another reason, as I mentioned above, is hard water spots. While they are practically harmless, they don’t make a plant more beautiful. Lastly, wiping the leaves of your plants can remove and reduce pest outbreaks. Pest preventative care is often a forgotten plant chore but it can save you a lot of stress, extra work, and money.

Using a microfiber cloth and a plant leaf solution such as our leaf shine concentrate, Wildflora’s leaf shine concentrate | Wildflora plant shop, you can wipe the front and backs of your plants’ leaves and leave them happier and healthier then ever!
