As for sugar, too much of it can only do harm, causing the leaves to become sticky.

How to proceed

Soak a cotton pad in the solution and start cleaning. Wipe the leaves of plants with this solution no more than once a week.

It will act as a polish, making the plants not only clean, but also shiny, and the composition also works as a fertilizer.

Important! Leaves need to be wiped from the outside and back. After treatment, plants should not be left in the sun until the leaves are completely dry.
