Do you ever wonder how to dust your plants and actually clean the leaves to make them shine. A few posts ago we talked about how having lots of plants in your house actually filters your air. However, plant leaves get clogged up with dust and grime and begin to lose their recycling powers. A quick, easy, and green way to keep those plants looking good is to clean them with banana peels.
Using a ripe banana, peel the skin away and enjoy the fruit. Now, cut the banana peels into squares, or just use it like it is. Rub each leaf with the soft white side of the peel. Not only will it take the dust and grime off right away, it will moisturize and shine your plant.
When you are done cleaning your plants, take those lovely banana peels out to the compost pile or simply bury it near your outdoor plants. The plants will love the potassium and you will be adding vitamins and minerals to your soil will very little work.
