Here is your exclusive misting tonic guide from Riya, Green Stylist at Urban Bagicha. These simple, natural recipes will help your indoor plants thrive this summer with glowing, healthy leaves!

💧 Why Misting Makes a Difference

Misting plant leaves twice a week in summer is a game changer! Here's why:

  • ✔ Keeps leaves hydrated and healthier
  • ✔ Provide micronutrients to plants
  • ✔ Rinses off dust and prevents pests
  • ✔ Increases humidity level for thriving plants

✅ The Right Misting Technique

  • ✔ Keep the spray nozzle at a distance of 30–40 cm
  • ✔ Use fine mist, not harsh splashes
  • ✔ Best time: early morning or late evening, perfect for working plant parents

💡 Pro Tips from Riya

  • ✔ Always use room temperature or filtered water — cold water can shock plants
  • ✔ Never mist directly under harsh afternoon sun — it can burn leaves
  • ✔ Shake the bottle gently before each use, especially for the Neem Toner
  • ✔ Store unused tonic in the fridge and use within 5–7 days
