Will it hurt to clean up my orchids with a little leaf shine?


My orchid society discourages its use because the resultant shiny leaves
look "fake". They also believe that some judges do not look favorably
on plants treated with the stuff.

A subtle sheen can be obtained with milk if one wipes the leaves dry
after application, otherwise a sticky residue and odor can result.
Lemon juice cleans without imparting additional sheen.
