how do you clean leaves? - September 2nd, 2006 at 01:06 AM
Morning everybody!!!!!!
I have a question about leaf cleaning. Whenever I look at photos here or in plant books, all leaves are so shiny. How do you achieve this effect?
My plants look fine, healthy, but the leaves are not shiny. For example, on the two ivies I have, only very new leaves are glossy; when they reach maturity, they become dull green.
How do you clean leaves?
what do you use?
How often?
Or maybe the shiny leaves mean that the plant is healthy, and the dull green of my plants indicates that they are missing something in their diets? (I do feed them according to instructions on the bottle and advice given here. Also, I use Miracle gro potting mix.)
Thank you all for the help,
have a great day,
t.
