You know when you go out to the club and you showered but you still feel like you want to freshen up sometimes? Maybe you bring wet wipes and just wipe your neck and arms and call it a day. When it comes to gardening and plants, especially for me, once I get pests it's really hard for me to manage a consistent schedule with my chemotherapy. These plant wipes, while they definitely cannot replace pesticides to control any size outbreak, this is amazing at cleaning dust (that may formulate), great at cleaning/disinfecting the leaves (I primarily use these to wipe every single leaf and some of the substrate whenever I get new plants; It would kill any larvae that may be on it. Ever since I put a plant down on a piece of paper and came back to an aphid um... congregation.... I understood the vitality for treating your plants. After that, I found thrips, mealy's, and more. So far I've won against the aphids. I'm winning against the thrips. The mealy's, I'm winning, but like a curse that keeps on giving, they return. However, I don't always have the energy to deep treat all my plants immediately. But now, if I see a mealy, visible to my eye, I get a wipe and BAM. My OCD self, BAM. Eventually I'll get to the deep pesticide, but these wipes, they definitely give me some peace and relief. Especially with new plants. I have not introduced any of my new plants to the ones I'm battling. They're in my grow tent and a bit in my garage. I shall win. I shall prevail. And I shall use these wipes to mitigate any transplants or migrants that may want to infect my separate collection. These wipes have peppermint, (strongest odor), thyme, among many other herbs, and offer a naturopathic way of pesticide management or just adding a polish/shine to your plants. To be on the safe side you could do it when your grow lights off or the sun isn't out. But I've done it with my grow lights on and haven't had issue. Definitely recommend these. Great product for the price!
