Clean Houseplant Leaves with Banana Skins. Houseplants can be very useful in decorating your home, but you must keep them looking good. Make sure to clean any dead leaves away from your plant. To keep your leaves shiny as well as dust free, wipe them down with banana peels.

Indoor Gardening. Indoor plants can be used to brighten the inside of your house just like the outside. Be sure that your plant gets everything that it needs. Buy plants that require low amounts of light. Give the plants as much light as you can. Water the right amount with room temperature water. Use clean pots for ever new plant, and use fertilizer when necessary.
