Gardener Reacts to "Simple Plant Growing Hacks"

the butter. In fact, I'm angry about butter. Uh, why? But why? Well. So I guess what you're trying to do here, I mean, this is something a lot of house

plant

owners will do: clean the leaves of their

plant

. If you think about it, when dust falls on your plants, especially indoors, tons of dust inside, right? So when dust falls on your plants, it creates a film of light that refracts light and impedes that particular leaf's ability to photosynthesize. So what a lot of people will do is spray their plants, mist them, take a little microfiber and wipe down their larger leaves.

You would spray the plant, take some type of cloth, and just wipe it down. Now, I think the reason they've used butter here is so it's always shiny, but that's not a good idea for a couple of reasons. Number one, it's a bad idea because it's an oil and grease that's put on top of the plant. That's not what they usually have on them and plants transpire through their leaves. It is not advisable to block the so-called stomata, which are responsible for the plant's respiration. So the oils can clog that up and then you're damaging the plant's ability to be a plant.

So problem number one. Number two, it will be around for quite some time. I guess that's their selling point. It will look shiny forever. And then you have a dusty oily plant that you will still have to clean. Again, it doesn't make much sense to me, but hey, it's 5 Minute Crafts, guys. I hope you enjoyed this version of a reaction video. I know there were a couple of repetitions there, but I thought I'd add a little extra context around it and try to explain and give credit where credit is due. You know, not everything is bad in the world and I'm certainly not trying to destroy these types of videos.

I'm trying to use videos that are apparently watched by millions of people and provide additional context on how to care for plants in what I consider a more effective, practical and useful way for you. So until next time, good luck in the garden and keep

growing
