What do you use to clean the leaves?

#### Kate replied on 2023-08-29

I’ve been thinking about trying that out, but wasn’t sure if it would leave any residues that would cause a problem. Looks like it works pretty well, though!

If you don’t want to use that, neem oil is a good substitute as well and helps with pest prevention

#### Planty Things replied on 2023-08-29

Yes! I use neem oil every couple of weeks too.

Do you find neem oil needs to be rubbed off? I’ve seen oil attract dust to the leaves when I got a few plants off marketplace so I have been hesitant to use neem oil

#### Planty Things replied on 2023-08-30

Sometimes I just spray it and leave it on and other times I buff the leaves clean and I’ve never had a problem either way. I’m more cautious with velvety leaves, making sure they dry off without creating stains but I’ve never really had a problem either way. Neem oil is disolved in enough water that I don’t notice an oily residue

So beautiful! 💚
