How to clean a ficus plants leaves
21 Answers
I have only recently noticed how dusty the leaves on my ficus plant are - quite embarassing really!
I often clean larger leaved houseplants but I aint washing every leaf on this. Has anyone got any helpful hints on how to make it an easy job?

I've done this very effectively with several large house plants in the past. In the summer of course when it's warmer you can put them outside and let a rain shower do the work for you.
Are we talking rubber plant here? This used to be my job with my mum's gigantic rubber plant. I would get a bowl of lukewarm water and some cotton wool and then just gently wipe the damp cotton wool down each leaf from the stem to the point. After I'd done each leaf and let them dry, I'd give them another wipe with baby bio leaf shine - although I see they now do it in aerosol form so you can just give it a fine spray and you have a perfect sparkling plant. If you can't be bothered, enlist a child - either your own or someone else's, I always felt very satisfied that I'd done such a good job :)
