Refresh Your House Plants

By CindyM56 (Guest Post)

My daughter-in-law uses mayonnaise and rubs down the leaves of her plants with it. Makes it clean and shiny!
P.S. I did think she was crazy when she told me about it though.

I use a waste banana skin to polish Aspidistra leaves, and my aquarium's filter waste water is used to feed my house plants

This sounds like a good idea. I am thinking that a person can catch rain water to use on the house plants instead of house water. It would help the plant to not get so much salt build up.


Place houseplants outdoors during a rain to catch the rainwater. Rainwater will help flush out accumulated salts from tap water, too.

Also, water your plants with warm water. I never did that until the last month and my begonia has started blooming non-stop now.

My problem----------Don't forget to take them back inside. Needless to say I don't have a green thumb.
