So true on the peppermint essential oil. I use them with water to clean my plants plus pests repellant! I also use citrus essential oils whenever It’s time to soil water them. Just don’t let the water be on the leaves coz citrus or any citrus like lemon or lime essential oil can burn the leaves when the sunlight hits them. ♥️
Hi Lucía, I did not know that I can use Peppermint oil for clean my houseplants. Usually I use a mix of water, soap and Neem oil to prevent pest. Sometimes just I give them a good shower. 🛀🌿
I usually just use water to clean my plant leaves. Will have to try your solution. Now about cleaning all those little leaves, hay que tener mucha paciencia. ☺
I am cleaning my leaves today with the same combo of lavender soap and peppermint eo and thank u for the q tip tip haha this will be perfect for my peperomia hope. I enjoy u and your content so much, ur like a light of sunshine and today I definitely needed that, Thx!
Hii! this is a great question! I have a maranta leuconeura and her leaves are also super sensitive so I always am very careful with this! hmm I don't have a calathea orbifolia... I know that my calathea medallion was okay with this.. However, what I'd recommend is that you try with one leaf and see how it goes, before using it for the whole plant.. Let me know how it goes 💚
Hola! Con que sea un “horticultural soap” y no tenga muchos químicos que puedan dañar a tu planta, está bien :) solo revisa bien para que no vayas a dañar sus hojas 💚
I’ve used it for my maranta and she seems to be ok ! But always try maybe with a cutting first, these can be very sensitive on the leaves, as soil may know haha ❤️🙃
Hi Lucia, I’ve found a peppermint soap from Dr Bronner. Could I use just that instead of the soap and peppermint oil? Also, I have mainly cacti - is it okay to use on them? I also have a big Sansevieria trifasciata. Can I use the soap on this? Thanks for your tips!
How you use normal oil for pest control. I brought home a plant from the store and infected the rest of my plants. I have tried sticky paper but it doesn't stop the bugs.
I do and they seem to be fine ! So far I’ve used it for my calathea medallion, my calathea rufibarba and my maranta leuconeura, you can try it on a small part of the leaf and see how she reacts after some hours, just to be sure 😊
I love it when the leaves are cleaned and shiny. I just made that part of my chore today. 🤪
Yay ! I know, it’s the best feeling ✨
I just did this today with the recipe here and it works so well, smells so good, and made me so happy! Thanks for sharing!
Hola Lucia, I never thought of the q-tip option and essential oils. Super helpful video. Gracias

@@annapanna1907 ah so happy to know that ! 💚💚
Thanks for the video, Lucia! 😍 Would this be safe for calathea orbifolias too? I notice they have quite sensitive leaves...

Hello Lucia, thanks for sharing this video. Would you also use that mixture to also clean the leaves on a maranta plant?
I’ve used it for my maranta and she seems to be ok ! But always try maybe with a cutting first, these can be very sensitive on the leaves, as soil may know haha ❤️🙃

I'll surely try this out!
actually looks soooo relaxing, and I am sure the peppermint oil helps with that hahaha =D
It does for sure 🌿💛!!

Sorry it's noom oil, pesky auto-correct feature.
What kind of bugs? Flying like gnats/fruit flies?
hi Lucia... do you also clean your prayer plants with sa same solution? im a bit anxious i could damage my PP...
I do and they seem to be fine ! So far I’ve used it for my calathea medallion, my calathea rufibarba and my maranta leuconeura, you can try it on a small part of the leaf and see how she reacts after some hours, just to be sure 😊
Wow thanks very much Lucia.... ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Lucia!! I would love to send you a Colocasia Nobel Gigante bulb! Let me know if you're interested 🤗
