Clean up

.

Cleaning and grooming plants will keep them healthy, clean and attractive. Clean plant leaves to remove dust and dirt buildup with 1 teaspoon non-phosphate soap in 1 quart of water.

.

"Commonly used soaps include Ivory dish soap and PineSol, but many others are OK, too. Use a sponge, cleaning cloth or paper towel to wipe all surfaces of the leaves clean. Wipe down containers too," said Ferree.

.

Hairy plants should be cleaned only with a brush or feather duster. Ferree doesn't recommend using mayonnaise or furniture polish or anything that could clog the plant's breathing pores.

.

Debris found on the plant, on the top of the soil or at the bottom of the container should be cleaned out regularly. Keep the plant attractive by trimming off old flower heads and all dead or dying leaves.

.

Making more

.

Many kinds of houseplants are easily propagated using a number of easy techniques. To get started, you'll need containers, a sterile cutting tool, soil and a makeshift greenhouse.
