Be Nice To Your Plants – Dust Them!
Here it is January, and your plants maybe becoming alittle dusty, I know mine were, and I also needed to transplant one of my Christmas cactuses.
I was going to repot the cactus earlier, but then noticed it was developing blossoms, so decided to wait. I didn’t want to disturb its blooming cycle by transplanting it.
So today I transplanted it into a new larger pot. Hopefully now it won’t dry out so fast, and the water won’t just run through it, when it is watered.
While transplanting it, I also gave it a “bath”. I had the pot sitting in my kitchen sink, so I sprayed it with my hand sprayer, connected to my faucet. Then I dried it off with a microfiber hand towel.
I used a microfiber dish cloth to cleanup the dirt particles and water “left-over” from potting. Microfiber is an excellent “dirt picker-upper”! Next time you have a potting job to do, keep a microfiber cleaning cloth around to help with cleanup.
And don’t forget to dust your plants. They will love you for it; for it helps them absorb sunlight better, keeping them healthy and happy! You can dust them by wiping them off with a slightly damp microfiber cloth.
