Mayonnaise To Clean Plant Leaves

Apply mayonnaise to your plants to clean them and make them shine beautifully.

By Tammy from Economy, IN

Editor's Note: This may work fine on waxy leaves like a philodendron but it could harm softer leaved plants. There is vinegar in mayonnaise which can change the pH of the plant. Has anyone tried this?

I wouldn't use mayo again unless I was 100% sure of what it would do to a plant. I had a huge, beautiful Corn Plant ( I think it was in the dracaena family) and I used mayo on it. The plant was dead in about 2 weeks after only ONE application!
