Learn how to clean plant leaves and other winter care tips to stop overwatering your plants

The most boring part of plant care is cleaning your leaves. It's like vacuuming but worse. I wanted to quickly show you how to clean plant leaves. You should be cleaning your leaves year round, at least once a month, but this is particularly important in the winter.

During the winter months your plant is much more susceptible to overwatering. Cleaning the leaves will help your plant absorb more light, which will cause it to absorb water in the soil at a faster rate. It also helps you take a closer look at your plants to better understand their needs and inspect for pests.
