This cleaning is super effective to have beautiful plants at home.
But don't do this cleaning every day, because you risk damaging your plants.
When wiping, think from the stem to the tip of the leaf.
It is important not to forget the underside of the leaves, as this is where the pests like to hide.
Obviously this cleaning works for all types of plants with smooth leaves such as ficus, crotons, philodendrons, aralia...
...but also succulents, apartment plants or even outdoor or artificial plants.
The white vinegar acts is an acid that dissolves the mineral salts embedded in the leaves.
It prevents the deposit of dust on the leaves, eliminates all traces of limescale and restores shine and shine.
As a bonus, the smell of vinegar is ideal for repelling pests or pets that would like to pee on it.
As an alternative to vinegar, you can also use lemon juice from half a lemon squeezed into a liter of water.
No white vinegar? No lemon?
