Experts call it Sansevieria<\/strong>  , but everyone knows it as  mother-in-law’s tongue<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plant, famous for its resistance, is easily recognizable by its  leaves<\/strong>  : tall and pointed, they look like \u201ctongues\u201d, quite rigid and long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leaves are the centerpiece of this beautiful plant, loved even by those without a green thumb. But how to always keep them  beautiful<\/strong>  ,  clean<\/strong>  and super  shiny<\/strong>  ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s try to do it following the  advice of nurserymen<\/strong>  : they are simple and… infallible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dust them often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As is well known,  Sansevieria<\/strong>  is primarily a  houseplant<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, at home,  dust<\/strong>  can settle on its leaves and cover them. Therefore, the  leaves<\/strong>  look  duller<\/strong>  and may suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Leaf dust, in fact, hinders  respiration  and<\/strong>  photosynthesis  ,<\/strong>  as it closes the pores of the plant .<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dusting them often, using a  cloth<\/strong>  or a  duster<\/strong>  , can be a good solution to prevent this problem and continue having a healthy and leafy plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NB:<\/strong>  If your plant continues to cause problems, seek expert advice immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moisten and dry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To keep  the sheets clean<\/strong>  and free of dust, sometimes dusting them with a cloth is not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least  once a week<\/strong>  , you can use this  Marseille soap<\/strong> trick  . Dissolve  30 grams<\/strong>  of flakes in about  500 ml of water<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, apply the mixture to the leaves with a  damp cloth<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, you will clean the leaves of   the mother-in-law’s  tongue not only from dust, but also from any <\/strong>parasites<\/strong>  that could infest the plant, causing it to wilt little by little.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, be  careful<\/strong>  : you should not leave the leaves wet or too wet, otherwise it could encourage the development of  infections<\/strong>  and  diseases<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking for other natural remedies to keep parasites  away<\/strong>  ?  Here are some<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

use milk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A foolproof and little-known method to keep Sansevieria<\/strong> leaves   super  shiny<\/strong>  and  shiny<\/strong>  :  milk<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a mixture using  equal parts  <\/strong>milk<\/strong>  and  water<\/strong>  and mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, pass the mixture over the leaves with the help of  cotton<\/strong>  and being careful to pass it over each point of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning<\/strong>  : Never overdo this trick. In fact, milk is a  fatty food<\/strong>  and if you overdo it, it could damage the plant or attract insects and parasites to the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover here<\/strong>  other uses of milk in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay in the light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems like a trivial suggestion, but all nurserymen and experts agree: while it survives in the lack of light, keeping  mother-in-law’s tongue<\/strong>  in a location with  indirect sunlight<\/strong>  helps it stay healthy and thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun’s rays, in fact, strengthen the leaves of this plant, helping them remain  stiff<\/strong>  and  green<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, keeping  mother-in-law’s tongue in the<\/strong>  shade over time causes its  leaves to turn yellow<\/strong>  or  paler<\/strong>  and its consistency to become  less solid<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, choose a place not too far from the window and, when temperatures rise in  spring<\/strong>  and  summer<\/strong>  , don’t be afraid to have this plant  outside too<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does your  Sansevieria have <\/strong>dry<\/strong>  and  broken<\/strong>  tips   ?  The problem could be this<\/strong>  .<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try it with beer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A little secret to polishing Sansevieria leaves is to use  beer<\/strong>  .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously this is a less safe remedy than the others, since the  alcohol<\/strong>  contained in this drink can amplify the effect of the sun’s rays, causing burns on the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, limit yourself to passing a little beer on the blades with a  cotton ball<\/strong>  once  a month<\/strong>  for a  safe<\/strong>  and  polishing<\/strong> effect  !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
