Hi
I've seen products for making the leaves of indoor plants look lovely and glossy... Are these really OK for plants, or detrimental to their health?
Is there a safe natural way to keep leaves glossy?

I have one of those "Grandma's Secrets" kind of books. In it, one advice is to use left-over milk to wipe both sides of houseplant leaves for glossy shine. We now know, of course, that the milk can promote lactobacilus growth and provide anti-fungal/fungicidal activity, though how that relates to shiny leaves, or if it does at all, I've no idea.
Maybe you could experiment on one leaf?
