Winter is a great time to spruce up houseplants, University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator Rhonda Ferree says.

1. "First, check to see if the plant has any insect or disease problems.

2. See if the plant needs to be re-potted.

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

.

Another cleaning option is to spray plants with a non-ammonia glass-cleaning product (such as Sparkle) and wipe clean. Hairy plants should be cleaned only with a brush or feather duster.
