The leaves of green ivy and aloe vera are covered with dust. Do you still want them to purify the air and absorb formaldehyde?

1. Cleaning of large blades

Applicable plants:

This method is suitable for most foliage plants, such as green ivy, money tree, cyclamen, snake plant, anthurium, etc.

Cleaning method:

The easiest way is to use a soft cloth or wet wipes (do not use rough or linting cloth) to carefully wipe the front and back of the leaves.

What to do if there is stubborn dust? You can use an auxiliary tool - beer. First spray the leaves with water, and then wipe them with beer. It will not only make cleaning easier, but also make the leaves shiny.

2. Cleaning of small leaves

Applicable plants:

Lucky tree, red sandalwood, asparagus fern, Schefflera arborvitae...plants with small and dense leaves.

Cleaning method:

The leaves are small and numerous, so they can be washed directly with a pressure spray bottle. Use the impact force of the water flow to wash away all the dust on the leaves, saving time and effort, and there is no need to wipe the leaves one by one.

However, it should be noted that you should choose sunny weather and when the flowers and plants need watering, so that the water on the leaves will dry easily, and spraying too much water will not affect the growth of the plants.

3. Cleaning of soft-haired blades

Applicable plants:

African violets are very common.

Cleaning method:

The surface of the leaves is uneven and has tiny soft hairs. This type of leaves are easily stained with dust and can be damaged if not cleaned properly. Hehe, Huahua has a way.

Use a soft-bristled brush or writing brush to gently sweep across the leaves. Do not get the brush or leaves wet. This will not damage the leaves and will allow them to be wiped clean.

4. Leaves of succulent plants

Whether succulents are indoors or outdoors, there is no way for them to remain untainted by mud like lotus flowers, so keeping them clean at all times is the key.

Method 1: Blowing

Applicable plants: Echeveria, with waxy powder on the leaf surface.

Succulents with wax powder on the surface of the leaves are the most troublesome to clean, but it is much easier with an air blower (choose the appropriate air blower according to the size of the succulent). There is no need to test your lung capacity, just move your hands and the succulents will be clean.

Method 2: Tape

Applicable plants: Bear's Paw, Silver Moon, Jinsihuang, Silver Arrow, Dream Toon, Moon Halo, etc., succulents with hairy leaves.

If it can’t be blown away or brushed away, just use tape to stick it on. But before that, stick some tape on it with your hands to prevent the leaves from being damaged by excessive stickiness.

Method 3: Brush

Applicable plants: All succulents with no fuzz and waxy powder on the leaves.

Use a clean and dry small brush to brush off the dust. After brushing, they will be more crystal clear.

Method 4: Dip cotton swab

Applicable plants: succulents with dirty parts.

When watering, dirt splashes onto the leaves. At this time, you can wipe it with a wet cotton swab. It is very useful!
