I come from the old school that you shouldn't get their leaves wet. I am sure that others won't agree. I use a soft brush to brush them.

Way to many For me only when I transplant them I do use a Blush brush
Thats what I call Lazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzy for me I want somthing easy. I also water my leaves from the top Thats bad I know But so far they are doing ok. What a wicked child I am. LOL
I get in these moods sometimes I just want to do nothing and other time I almost break my neck trying to get big projets done ' Like yesterday I cleaned out my garage moved things tossed things out took me 5 hours and there is not alot of stuff Today all I want to do is rest. and I had all winter to rest and do this stuff. Now I will be starting work and I want to do cutting of my AV and start them for the spring,
But I won't start work till Monday night so I still have a few day to get it done along with a good house cleaning. Sorry If I got off track I was just in a typing Mood. Thanks For Reading I will get better soon

Hi There;
I give mine a bath quite often, i just blot the leaqves to get the excess water off & never have a problem, just make sure ther is no water laying on the leaves.
