Rubber Plant Leaves

Question

What can I put on the leaves to make them shiny?

Answer 1

You can spritz them with water or wipe them down with a damp cloth. Do not use the commercial sprays intended for cleaning houseplants to make them shine. These merely clog the plant's pores and cause more harm than good.

Answer 2

Rubber trees, or ficus decora, have naturally shiny leaves. Keep your plant leaves free of dust by dusting them with a feather or microfiber duster every week or so. To increase the shine to super levels, you can hand wipe each leaf: put one hand under the leaf to support it, and wipe the top surface gently with a soft cloth or even a paper towel
