I am new to your channel. I read about not cleaning the underside but didn’t know why. Thank you for all the great information on cleaning. Have you ever used dawn dish soap? I have the perfect window for my 6 orchids and 20 African Violets.
I’ve also heard of people using Mayo also. I’ve not tried that or the leaf shiners sold in stores. I’ve never thought about the oil making the leaves prone to burn easier. Great video.
I accidentally used pure neem oil to shine my orchid leaves once. Most of my Orchids were ok, but I have one cattleya that did not take well to it and it burned and shriveled, it was a huge mistake. I'd never use pure oil on the leaves anymore. As you said, the damages they can get is definitely real!!

Great video, I use a little bit of mayonnaise on my phal leaves, but it also clings dust if you use too much.
Something funny.... my momma used to put mayo in her hair for moisturizer lol.
@@dannisorchidjourney so did my cousins
@@treesepiphytes lol yesss!!! That’s too funny! I love it
Thank you Danni. I've also heard some people use milk.
Milk, I’ve never heard of that one! Lol!

Ohh o I’m sorry that happened. We all make mistakes though. We live and learn but it hurts when we do it with our orchids lol.
I love Phalaenopsis. I clean the leaves of my orchids because of dust. I grow my orchids in door.
That’s awesome! I love them too! Happy growing and thanks for stopping in! 💜
