Wipe down dusty leaves
THE LEAVES OF houseplants readily gather dust, just like any other surface in the house, and this can affect their ability to grow. To clean them without damaging them, support the leaf or branch from underneath with the palm of your hand and gently wipe the dust off with a soft cloth. Special sprays or wipes can be used and will shine the surface too. Regular wiping will also disturb any pests that are looking to move in.
