Added to our list of things to do: gain enough upper body strength to water our trailing plants. 💪 @thejungleupstairs gave her Heart Leaf Philodendron a rinse and explained a bit more about her process:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“For the majority of my normal-sized plants, I’ll hold them under a cool stream in the shower every once in a while for a bath. It rinses off the dust, potential bugs, and really drenches the soil— and you don’t have to worry about the drainage, because, well, it literally goes straight into the drain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This lil man has been collecting dust for *quite some time and I keep putting off cleaning him because I knew it was going to be a whole THING.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it kinda was… he is sooooo heavy!! Didn’t anticipate how much the soil would weigh once it was wet (rookie move) but hands down this was the most athletic thing I’ve done since replanting my giant Monstera.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m going to do my best to do this more regularly, but for now, he’s looking so fresh and so clean back in his corner. ✨”
