Is this something to worry about?
I just got this adorable little #EpipremnumPinnatumAlbo #Epipremnum and hoping that these leaves aren’t a sign of anything major going on. Should I treat these leaves? If so how?

Lots of warm water with a little vinegar and a soft fluffy cloth is what I use and just do one leaf at a time. I lay the leaf on the cloth , support it from underneath and rub it gently. It works to really get to know your new plant and you also get a good look at what is going on in there. In my house you go in to quarantine for a week and go no where else , to the hospital room or to the inner sanctum without a bath. By then we know each other a little better. I just got a Northfolk Island Pine which I always wanted but the bath experience had to be different. I Saran wrapped the top of the pot and put her in the shower and got in with him and hosed her down one section at a time and she was so shiny after. I could not believe how dusty she was and how shiny she was after. She’s is so much happier. ( the spare bedroom is the hospital) I tend to Saran Wrap their pots when I bath them. The kind that really sticks to the pots. Take your time and do a good job , it’s worth the time. She will be looking hot in no time. 🤪💕🥰🌱❤️
@SherryBerry I saw somewhere to wipe leaves with alcohol. Would that be a good thing to do as a basic cleaning or do you have another suggestion for basic cleaning?
I have come home with some pretty scrappy looking plants because I could not leave them there because I was afraid someone wouldn’t buy it and it will die. Now if it is nearby I will visit it until it sells or I take it home. Sherry is right as long as it isn’t a bug or disease don’t worry Give her a nice warm leaf bath , ask a lot of questions, let her talk too ! Breathe on her a little and keep her company by hovering just a little. Put her in isolation and give her a hug. She will be beautiful in no time. Let us see her progress ok. 💕🥰🌱❤️🤪
@SportyWhiskfern Awe, that was beautifully put. Thank you ☺️ would you say to just wash her with water or with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide or something instead? I’ve never dealt with pests so I’m unsure about proper washing being new to actually caring well for my plants.
