What does everyone use to wipe down leaves? I’ve been told just spray water but I’ve seen videos before where it looks almost soapy? Just want my babies to feel and look their best 😌

A lot of people use Castile soap mixed with water! I sometimes add isopropyl as well to help kill pests

I used a damp washcloth, and I make sure it’s clean, and it works perfectly fine.

Neem oil, dish soap, and water! Trust me it is the perfect combo. Neem oil prevents pests, dish soap shines the leaves and prevents pests, and water to dilute. If you want to add rubbing alcohol it become a good spray for getting rid of bugs (mealy and scale specifically)
