How do u clean the rubber tree

Those little hard water spots can be so annoying! I recently did a video on the same thing on my channel! ☀️ I use one teaspoon of white vinegar in a gallon of water or just scale it down to 1/4 tsp of vinegar in 4 cups of water! It works great and the plants look so pretty and shiny afterwards! ✨🌱🥰 Loved the video, you’re hilarious 😂

Yours are not even not that bad..mine are the ones I don't even have words to describe!!

I like to use distilled water with a tiny bit of dish soap. I have used lemon juice in the past and it does work wonderfully. However, one KZreadr used the lemon water on her phalaenopsis orchids and all of the leaves turned yellow and brown and were severely burned! I don't know if it was too concentrated or what, but after that video I decided to never take the chance with lemon water again lol. I don't like to use anything but water as a general rule but when it comes to hard water spots, you're right, plain water don't cut it!

Hey Harley how do you make the leaves shiny? Is it safe to use distilled water with vegetable oil? Thanks!

OMG - my scindapsus pictus exotica came with a super weird white residue that the nursery said was "limescale" - it really looks like the residue you show in the video, just x100 times worse and covering the entire leaf (for a few leaves) i tried your method and it actually seems to work!

I just got a fiddle leaf and Chinese money plant over the weekend. I also have a ZZ plant. I live in hard water ally. LOL. This is so helpful. I just became a plant mama a few weeks ago, but have been an essential oil mama for years. I have Lime and lemon oil. How many drops should I use with the water? Essential oils can be very potent.

I've used some apple cider vinegar (bc I had some on hand) & water, but I like the idea of filter water😊 Your mom also suggested milk, which I've tried!

it worked yaaaaaaay. I tried water on my new Maranta and guess what, did not do anything. I got this Maranta from the houseplant shop and it was all whity. I used kitchen napkin thought and it was fine . thank you

I use the same things but one drop of natural sope is a good add to the 'drink'. But just a little drop so you dont damage the plants and mix it really good. It should be a natural one too, so there are almoust no chemicals. And please, if you use this do it in the nighttime (or place youre plant in a room with low or no light for a few hours) because if the leaves, that are getting sprayed or washed with this, stay in bright light they can get burnt verryyyyy easily.

I would assume vinegar should work too?

I can't believe how quickly it worked. I bypassed my plants in the store due to water spots but not anymore. Thank you so much for sharing! 🌿🌱p l a n t L❤️v
