WASHING OF LEAVES 



Plants with large and tough leaves, such as 

 palms and rubbers, should occasionally be 

 washed. These leaves are large and the dust 

 accumulating on them soon clogs up the stomata. 

 Wash with a sponge and use clear water only. 

 Do not rub the leaves as the dust is easily re- 

 moved by passing the wet sponge lightly over 

 them. This should be done whenever the leaves 

 lose their bright green color.
