How to wipe the leaves of plants safely?

Water spraying method

The dust on the blade is washed away by the impact of the water flow of the sprayer.

Wipe method

Gently and repeatedly wipe off the dust and sludge on the leaves with sponge or cotton cloth dipped in water.

Brush method

Brush the dust off the blade with a soft brush.

Note: The first two methods are not applicable to cactus, succulent plants and plants with fluffy leaves. Once the leaves are wet by water, it is difficult to evaporate, even if a dry cloth is used to absorb the water, it cannot be guaranteed to dry thoroughly within a certain time. However, some flower buds that are afraid of water, such as Gerbera jamesonii and pseudobulb of Clivia, should not touch water, especially during germination and pregnancy, which will affect the development of flowers.

In addition, don't spray water directly on the flowers. Flowers are easy to rot and wither when exposed to water, which will also cause low fertilization rate and affect flowering and fruiting. Potted flowers such as pomegranate, begonia, upside-down golden bell and crape myrtle will cause long branches and leaves, and the latter two cleaning methods are recommended.
