To restore a well-groomed appearance to orchids, many wipe the leaves with milk. This method effectively returns shine to the leaves but requires strict adherence to rules to avoid the appearance of a sticky residue.
For safe treatment, milk must be mixed with water in a one-to-one ratio. Using a cotton pad soaked in the resulting mixture, gently wipe the leaves on both sides without applying excessive pressure. After completing the procedure, it is important to additionally treat the surface with clean room temperature water. Removing any residue of the solution prevents the formation of a film that attracts dust and harmful pests.
It is recommended to perform this manipulation no more than once a month. The mixture cleans dirt well and gives the leaves a slight shine, but on a regular basis, it is better to use plain water or a weak soapy solution.
