In autumn, remember to wipe the leaves of your Monstera deliciosa; glossy green leaves all depend on this trick, so practical.

Huahua has really felt the power of this autumn recently; when a big wind blows over, you can hardly even stand steady! I have to admire it, this autumn wind is truly no joke, raw, cold and fierce! It blew dust all over Huahua! How annoying!

When I got home and saw the plants I grow still sitting there quietly, my mood instantly improved a little. If this fierce wind had blown away the flowers I grow, it would have broken my heart! The wind blew dust all over me, so I had to change clothes. But if plants get dirty from the wind, how should they be cleaned? That is a question.

Some people will ask, do plants really need a bath? How do you bathe a plant? Is it necessary? Don't worry, Huahua will answer each one for you.

If plants are exposed outdoors for a long time, dirty leaves are a normal phenomenon, but if the leaves are not cleaned for a long time, it is very likely to make the plant's surface look filthy, lacking vitality, and feeling dusty and bedraggled.

Besides having a bad effect on the plant's appearance, it also has an adverse effect on the plant's growth, especially for foliage plants whose main feature is their leaves. The respiration and photosynthesis of foliage plants are both carried out through the leaf surface. Once the surface leaves become dirty, it means the leaf cells are covered by dust, and it becomes very difficult for the plant to carry out photosynthesis and respiration.

If it cannot carry out respiration and photosynthesis, the plant will find it very difficult to convert the energy it needs. Over time, this can easily cause poor growth and insufficient energy supply. To avoid such a bad situation, below Huahua will tell everyone how to clean plant leaves.

Plants also come in different sizes, and the methods for cleaning leaves differ for large and small plants, though in principle they are not all that different. For smaller potted plants that can be moved, you can take them to the bathroom and use a showerhead to rinse the plant. Note that you should try to choose a time when the plant's soil is relatively dry and it is due for watering; this way you can both clean it and replenish water, which counts as killing two birds with one stone.

For larger foliage plants, such as Pachira aquatica and Monstera deliciosa, you can buy a spray bottle to clean the plant. It is best to choose the kind of pressure spray bottle, as this gives greater water force and rinses more cleanly. This method can be considered relatively time-saving and labor-saving. If you have more time, you can also choose a soft damp cloth to clean the plant's leaves; aside from being a bit more troublesome, it is still quite good.

Plants, like us humans, also love cleanliness. This is not just a matter of appearance, but even more a matter of the health of the plant's growth! I hope everyone can properly clean their plants on time. Note that you should not use too much force, as it may damage the plant.
