Few days ago My Lovely Neighbour Ann gave me this Small Pot/Container:)

I though Rrrrr iv got Perfect Plant 4 this

My Weeping Fig Plant is starting to Dangle & needed some where new to live !

I think itl like it in there dont u ? Now Off to The Bath Room with it :)

Happy with it there i Placed My Other House Plants into the Bath 4 a Good Spray with My Shower Head :) I got the Water Tipid b4 i started to give the Leaves a Good Spray & The Water That Dripped Off Gave the Soil a Nice Watering 2 :)

Another way i keep the Leaves Dust Free is by placeing them outside in the Rain!! :)

Jacque your plants look very healthy. I thought that house plants don't like tap water, but yours are evidence that they don't mind.
I am absolutely useless with houseplants, the only one I have at present is a Gardenia given by a friend, so fingers crossed. I do water it with rainwater as it doesn't like alkaline water which our's is.
