Necessity and appropriate time for cleaning leaves

Necessity of cleaning leaves

1. Potted plants, especially foliage plants with large leaves, will absorb a lot of dust on the leaves whether placed indoors or outdoors. If there is too much dust, the leaf pores will be blocked, which will make it difficult to absorb water and oxygen. Second, the excess water in the plant can not be discharged. In the long run, it will lead to plant death

2. Plants are covered with thick ash and lose their ornamental properties. If you want to wipe the leaves but can't wipe them, you will not only get stains on the leaf surface, but also make the plant "sudden death"

Time to clean leaves

The most suitable time to wipe the leaves is in the morning, which is to let the leaves have enough drying time during the day

Clean regularly, half a month or once a month, especially foliage plants

Method of cleaning leaves

Leaf spraying method

take one of the sprayers, spray the water onto the leaves and wash away the dust by using the impact force of the water. p>

Remember: don't take the plants under the faucet and flush them directly. Sudden changes in temperature can make plants worse

Leaf wiping method

Materials can be sponge and cotton cloth dipped in water. Hold the leaves in one hand and gently wipe off the dust with materials in the other hand. Pay attention to follow the veins of the leaves

Brush blade method

Note that the brush method requires soft hair to brush off the dust along the leaf veins

Specific plant leaf cleaning

Large blade: spray water + wipe

For large leaf plants such as fortune tree and turtle backed bamboo, spray the leaves with a watering can first, and then wipe the leaves with a sponge or cloth dipped in water

Note:

Clivia can not be cleaned by spraying water. It is best to wipe it with a wet towel

Leaflets: water spray

Small leaf plants such as green pineapple and small leaf red sandalwood have many and small leaves. You can directly spray water on the leaf surface with a watering can to wash away the dust

Succulent plant

1. The succulent plants of the genus twelve rolls and some Crassulaceae can be washed with a small brush

2. The tiger's hands are covered with wax powder, and the lotus can't be covered with wax powder

3. Fluffy plants: adhesive tape sticky hair

Cactus, succulent and plants with fluffy leaves are not suitable for the first two cleaning methods. Once the leaves of these plants are dipped in water, they are difficult to evaporate. Even if they are wiped with a dry towel, it will take a long time to dry, which is not conducive to the survival of plants

For example, bear boy, silver moon, lunar halo and other hairy and fleshy blowing are not good, and brushing is not good. You can stick it with adhesive tape! Stick a piece of adhesive tape by hand in advance to reduce the adhesive force and avoid damaging the epidermal layer of leaves

Flower watching plants: leaf Brush & amp; Leaf eraser

Potted flowers such as pomegranate, Begonia, upside down Golden Bell and crape myrtle spray water on the leaves, which will cause the branches and leaves to grow in vain, so it is best to use leaf brush or leaf wipe

Note:

Spraying water on the flowers will cause the flowers to rot and wither, and will also affect the results, so do not spray water directly on the flowers

Tips for making leaves more shiny

Gloss restoration method

1. Milk, dip the milk with a rag and gently wipe the leaves to restore the luster of the leaves

2. Beer, wipe the leaves gently with a rag dipped in some beer. The nutrients in beer can not only make the leaves bright, but also make the leaves grow fatter

Decontamination method

1. Detergent, if there is oil on the leaves, don't worry. Dilute the detergent and wipe the leaves to remove the oil

2. Vinegar, wiping leaves with vinegar can also have the effect of decontamination. Note that when using these two kinds of things, the dosage should not be too much

Do you remember everything
