How to get rid of dust from flower leaves? Plants in pots easily get dusty, which damages the plant, the aesthetics of the apartment and our health. Instead of harsh chemicals, why not use a homemade concoction to clean leaves that will keep them glowing for weeks?
Dust in the home does not only affect floors or furniture. It also settles on the leaves of plants and inhibits their growth. After all potted flowers not only decorate their surroundings, but also clean the air and bring peace to our environment. Therefore, it is worth cleaning them regularly and choosing a method according to their type and size in order to preserve their vitality.
Which plant leaves can be polished safely? This treatment is not suitable for everyone

- Avoid this treatment on sensitive species such as Calathea, Cyclamen, Phythonia, Cacti, Aronia, Ferns, Asparagus or Palms, especially if they have pinnate or filamentous leaves.
It is safe for plants with smooth, leathery leaves, such as anthuriums, monsters, ficuses, horsetails, zamioculcas, dracaenas or alocasias. For safety use natural methods instead of chemicals.
