Keeping your plant looking healthy year-round takes just a bit of “housekeeping”.
It doesn’t take long for our houseplants to become dusty. This layer of dust will block sunlight and reduce the plant’s ability to photosynthesize and that is how the plant feeds itself. A well-fed plant will be a healthier plant which is less prone to diseases.
How often to clean depends on how much dust you have. Rub your fingers over the leaves – if you feel or see dust, it’s time to clean.
