Hello, I have some dust and dead leaves on my Ficus Elastica, how can I prevent this or what can I do to clean the dust from the leaves without hurting the plant? Please help if you have any suggestions 🙏🏼🙂

    I just gentle wipe with a wet paper towel, or I give them a little shower in the sink!!!! But they are dust prone so you will do this quite often.

    I bought microfiber gloves from Amazon and it makes wiping the leaves super easy. I do that weekly then do a water rinse.

    I do a mixture of water dishsoap and rubbing alcohol, spray the leaves and wipe with gloves. I also use the spray to help with pests :)

      dish soap will block the pores of your plant. consider using a natural castile soap instead. it will kill any soft-bodied pests and help clean the leaves

    Use a paint brush to dust
