Houseplants - wipe leaves

Unfortunately, unloved dust also collects on plants that are kept indoors. Not only does it look unsightly, but this layer of dust also harms the plant and can cause it to die. The dust clogs the pores, preventing the plant from breathing, which can lead to it dying.

Wipe off the layer of dust

Houseplants - wipe leaves

You should remove this layer of dust regularly. To do this, take a soft, dry cloth and dust off all the leaves. Now the plant can breathe again.

Rain shower

Anyone who has the opportunity, with a balcony or garden, should also place their plants in the rain every now and then; this way, the leaves are freed from dust and watered naturally.

Shiny leaves

Houseplants get beautiful, shiny leaves if they are subsequently wiped down with diluted beer.
