Determine the type of plants, wipe dust or wash under the shower - we understand how to clean the home plants correctly and how often you need to do it.
Step 1. Determine the type of plants
Plants are divided into three groups.
- Those who need regular wet cleaning. This includes all kinds with large green leaves. They are soaked under the shower or carefully wipe with a damp soft cloth.
- Those who need careful cleaning without water use. This includes plants with a fly on the leaves, for example, the Royal Begonia. And also those on the leaves of which there is a wax. Most often it is succulents, after washing, they will lose their aesthetic appearance. All these plants are foaming with a soft pile.
- Those who need cleaning only in exceptional cases. This group includes cacti cacti. Hard tricks can be fused with a soft tassel, thin and soft spines - to blow. This is occasionally done if they were noticeably dyed.
The first and second group of home plants regular cleaning is needed so that pests do not start in dust: ticks or aphids, malicious fungi. It is important that the dust of the leaves are not clogged with dust and the plant could breathe.
Step 2. Think what kind of cleaning is needed.
Normal
The main task of this type of cleaning is to remove dust from the leaves, both with facial and from the wrong side.
The procedure depends on the time of year. In the spring and summer, plants with green leaves are cleaned once in one or two weeks. For delicate species, the graph is more rare - every 2-3 weeks. If in the winter your plant falls during the rest period, wet cleaning is needed only if necessary - when the layer of dust becomes noticeable.
Scale
A more serious cleaning is carried out significantly less often, about once every six months or a year. In this case, the washing of leaves add to the replacement of the upper part of the soil, as dust is also settled on it. In addition, it is necessary to clean the pallet and bezel, as well as the outer part of the pot.
Step 3. Getting Clearing
Cut dust
If you have cactuses or plants with a vile or wax chain, dust can be blunting from them to blur or brush with a soft tassel. A usual brush is suitable for the roast or drawing.
If water gets into such plants, the dust will be knocked back into lumps and stuck among the barbells or pile, so you should not wash them.
Wipe the leaves
Use soft wet fabric or foam sponge for wiping dust. The leaves are maintained from the bottom with the open palm so that damage does not occur. Movement with a cloth or sponge must be soft and smooth, without friction. Do not forget to wipe dust not only from above, but also from the bottomside of the sheet.
Wash under the shower
If your plant can be washed under direct jets of water, gently transfer it to the bathroom. Adjust indoor temperature, but not cold. Also make sure the water pressure is not strong. If the souls cannot be adjusted, acquire a watering can.
Plants that love frequent watering can be irrigated without closing the soil, but carefully, so that it is not flooded. If the flower is contraindicated with the mooring of the soil, close it with a polyethylene film.
