A layer of dust on the leaves prevents a plant from being able to photosynthesize and transpire effectively. Two very important functions in a plants life. It's vital to keep the leaves of your house plant gang clean. I like to dust my larger leaved friends like FLF's and Monstera's and Snake Plants with a damp, soft microfibre cloth, but for my finer or softer leaved indoor friends like my Ferns, Calatheas and my ZZ's, I just pop them in the shower for a rinse and water all in one.
