Tropical house plants - tips for keeping them fresh and keen?

My west-facing high-windowed air-conditioned apartment is bursting with tropical palms, paquira aquaticas, and other broad-leaved plants, but their fronds occasionally brown and dullen. I spray regularly and top up woth water only occasionally.





Have a lovely day.

the shower tip is a good one, also, rub the leaves with banana skin, this really helps :)
Reply:Take them into the shower .. I do all the time .. My a/c blows over several of mine, and they tend to get dusty ... I take them into the shower , spray them good , and wipe the leaves off with a sponge ..


( Hint .. DON"T tell your friends you shower with plants ...) lol...


Have a good one !
Reply:Houseplant foods are beneficial, but remember that a little fertiliser can go a long way.


Place a newspaper between the windowsill garden and the window at night to keep the chill from injuring house plants


Rotate house plants in dim locations to sunny spots to keep them all in prime condition


Dust foliage plants or give them an occasional shower
