…sorry to dominate this side group so much lately! Herman question, once again. This app says to mist his leaves, whereas my Alexa+ recommended not doing that and just dusting them once in a while. What say you amazing plant people!?🪴😊

I get a damp towel and just wet the leaves!!!

I have these soft gloves that I use…maybe light mist then a gentle wipe with these?

That would be good. Also talking to your plant while doing it could help them thrive if you’re up to it😇

Yep, Herman and I actually watched the Munsters together the other day! 🤣🪴

i mist on occasion but it's important to remember that if you're misting for humidity, misting creates stagnant, wet conditions that promote fungal infection. if you're looking for humidity benefits, get a humidifier. misting constantly (more than 3x a week is too much imo) can cause leaves to stay wet and get mold or fungus. a light mist every now and again is good, just be mindful

Do not mist the leaves it does nothing for the plant , I would dust them though using microfiber gloves or plant shining wipes or spray you can buy online !

That advice agrees with my Alexa+ conversation…thanks
