It’s a Hoya, so I don’t recommend washing at all. Succulents and Hoyas have a “wax” on the outside of their leaves. This helps protect them from the sun, if you remove the wax it can damage the plant. And cleaning definitely will remove it, if you rly want to wash it, I would just put it in the shower for a little while.

Ok thanks I thought to wash it because the app says every few weeks. But I’ll do anything for it thanks!!
