Top spring clean houseplant tips…

Houseplants need to be cleaned occasionally, too – just wipe the leaves with a damp cloth. This is not just to keep them looking good – removing the dust ensures good health. Take off any foliage that is yellowing, and trim damaged leaves of larger plants with sharp scissors at the same time.
As with outdoor container plants, houseplants may need repotting and feeding in spring to keep them healthy. Some, such as orchids, have special feeds to encourage flowers. Dobbies has some great advice and top tips for houseplant care over on Dobbies.com.
