Friendly reminder to clean your plants’ leaves!! Even our little plant babies need a shower from time to time, especially getting off all the dust that can attract pests 💚🌱🪴

Haha I know! I recently got a new sink and the sprayer attachment is my bff for spraying down plants that are able to fit in the sink, saves lugging them all to the shower

Is hosing them down enough to clean the dust off? Or should a rag be better? Also, will hosing affect the watering schedule? Or just make sure the water doesn’t make contact with the soil?

I’d say it is, unless you’re doing a pest removal and then that would have to be more involved. I just wait till it needs to be watered and do all of it at once to not have to worry about the soil getting wet

That’s a smart idea 😉 and probably easier to maintain and keep track of that chore lol

MadsI’ve gotten into the habit of showering my plants in the sink when I have them out for watering… but what about the succulents? Do you shower those too? I wipe down my snake plants (I even vacuumed one recently), but I wouldn’t do that with succulents that have farina, like echeverias. Is it ok to get them wet, or should I skip those?

Hmmm, those are a bit more finicky, i just take a slightly damp cloth and wipe them down leaf by leaf gently, I’ve seen way too many horror photos of succulents that had water on them for too long lol. I know in the wild they probably get doused but I’m too sketched out to do it in the house where there is not all the desert air and winds
