When Planta suggests to clean leaves would this be a good time to spray with Neem Oil?  
I have a Peace Lily and an Orchid which require wiping leaves with damp cloth.

I use diluted neem oil with water! But I'm still a beginner so double check with someone more experienced 🙏

Looks like we are equal beginners - we both have 17 plants!! I bet you have one more that you have not added too. I grabbed myself a Jade Bonsai yesterday that I have not added to my Planta

Thank you so much, I feel that the diluted Neem oil will give the leaves a little shine while also giving some pest prevention, I feel it is a win win! Thx for the “beginner disclaimer” I do the same

Anytime 🫶 we plant novices are gonna level up together

I have to admit I got a snake plant today when I was at CVS! 🤦🏻‍♂️🌿
