Oh ya kidding😭😂🤦🏼‍♀️I didn’t know you could get weeds on indoor plants as silly as that sounds hahaha

I had the same thing happen to me with my Ficus ginseng! I'm letting it grow to see what happens lol

what is leaf shining? i’m very curious!

#### Thrush Family antwortete am 2024-04-15

I believe it’s just cleaning the leaves since they can get dusty indoors. I usually use a damp microfibre towel to clean mine off.

#### harriet🪴🌵 antwortete am 2024-04-15

I buy a leaf shiner polish and spray it onto my leaves or onto a microfibre and wipe them with it, it helps them catch more sunlight and just wipes any dust ect off it! It makes them look glossy 😍

love !!

Just the topside of the leaf or underside too? I thought I read you weren’t supposed to mess with the backside of a leaf and now I’m afraid to do any dusting!
