Hello folks, I’m after some advice please. I recently bought a couple of indoor plants and added to the cart what I think is a very expensive bottle of natural mist to use on the leaves. All organic, glass bottle etc. supposed to use it 2-3 times per week but 2 weeks in I’m down to half a bottle and it was £15 (approx $20). I understand that I need to nurture the plants but it strikes me as a rather expensive mist. Is there anything you’d recommend I can use instead? Thanks.

Literally water. Distilled water if you're picky about spots on leaves. What is expensive mist anyway?

Additionally most plants benefit only temporarily from misting. Depending on the kind of plant, it can even cause fungus in leaves. If you have something like ferns, you'd be better off running a humidifier or leaving a tray of water and pebbles out.

Agree w others - misting doesn’t require anything beyond water and it can be distilled or tap. I use distilled for some fussy ones like alocasia or calathea. But also in my experience misting is not enough to meaningfully change the plants humidity unless you’re doing it a lot like several times a day. Hope your new plants are doing great!

Organic what? Is it a bottle of water?

Plastic spray bottle from Dollar Tree. Fill with water. Or buy a humidifier to put near plants.

Thanks everyone. GD1 - in answer to your question about “organic what” it has natural oils included in it.

I'd love to see an ingredient list if they provided one. It likely contains stuff you can get much more cheaply

Literally you don’t need it or any spray other than a damp towel (water) when wiping leaves (unless treating for pests)
