In nature, as well as in gardens, plants have very little difficulty in being and staying clean, either due to the action of the wind and / or rain, their leaves can be freed from the specks of dust that may fall on them. However, those that are inside the home do not have that possibility, so it is up to us to keep them pristine so that they can perform their functions correctly.
The question is, How to clean indoor plants? Let's see what we can use and how often we have to do it.
How often do you need to clean indoor plants?
As we well know, a house begins to get dirty from minute 1 after cleaning. The dust that falls from the ceiling and the walls, our own remains (of skin, hair, hair, dander), and also of the hair and dander of animals if we live together. It does not harm us, unless it accumulates and we do not take care of removing all that dirt of course 🙂, but plants do, since the pores of the leaves can become clogged and have difficulty breathing.
To avoid it, it is very important to clean them every so often, for example, once a week or every 4-5 days. In this way, we will have plants that, in addition to being beautiful, will be very healthy.
What to use to clean them?
We can use several things:
- Small brush brush: highly recommended for plants with small leaves, and also for succulents (cacti and succulents).
- Rag: either dry or moistened with lime-free water. Ideal for plants with large leaves.
- Pet wipe- Unlike baby wipes, pet wipes do not have foam so they won't harm plants.
In addition, if we want them to shine like never before, we can clean with, for example, a cloth dampened in milk.
