Make the most of the light
It’s been a long winter for us and our plants, so take a moment to help them on their way as they think about starting into growth. The more light they can get the be er, so remove any dust and dirt from the leaves, both on houseplants and those overwintering in the greenhouse. Small plants can be given a quick rinse under the tap – even succulents don’t mind – while smooth, large leaves should be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Hairy and bristly plants can be dusted with a paintbrush.
