I wouldn’t use leaf shine on succulents. Even if you wipe it off, it will still keep their leaves wetter than they like.

I do not use leaf shine, it’s a gimmick! Leaves 🍃 are beautiful 🤩

I agree leaves are gorgeous! But I saw some one using it on orchids and I was curious.

My local nursery started carrying a product called Neem and Gleam. They pulled it out when I was talking about preventative measures after a HUGE spider mite infestation this summer. Pleasantly surprised - it has a mint essential oil in it and doesn’t smell like neem (🤢). That said, using leaf shine isn’t for ALL plant leaves. Do your research. Definitely NOT succulents (or fuzzy leaves)

Thanks for the info

I have used leaf shine in the past once I might us is again and it DOES NOT go away unless the plant gets dusty but you can wipe the dust off and the plants I’ve used it on love it and have thrived with the leaf shine. I also personally like it because it gets rid of the water residue on the leaf!

What plants have you used it on?
