However, it is enough to keep it at home for a few days to notice that their color is no longer the same as before, not to mention the shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why does this happen? The answer is very simple: the <strong>leaves must be cleaned and polished<\/strong>. Below we explain how to prepare a <strong>leaf polish<\/strong> that will give a beautiful look to your houseplants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cleaning plant leaves is not only a matter of aesthetics<\/strong>, but also of health. According to a study conducted by the University of Barcelona, clean and well-maintained leaves promote the respiration of the plant which dust and dirt can compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to prepare a DIY leaf polish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a liter of warm water (not too hot to avoid damaging the roots)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a tablespoon of white vinegar<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>half a teaspoon of olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a bottle with a spray diffuser<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a microfiber cloth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pour the water and vinegar into the spray bottle, shake well, then spray directly onto the leaves. Use this solution and the microfiber cloth to clean the surface of the leaves well, being very careful not to damage or break them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, pour a few drops of olive oil on a clean cloth and use to polish the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Now that you know how to prepare a natural leaf polish, you will have plants that are always very green and shiny<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share article<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important: This website does not give medical advice, nor does it suggest the use of techniques as a form of treatment for physical problems, for which medical advice is required.
