How to Care for Crochet Plants
Crocheted houseplants are low-maintenance, but they can accumulate dust over time. To keep them looking their best, gently dust the surface with a soft brush or lint roller.
If they get a small stain or dirt spot, spot-clean them with mild detergent and water, dabbing the affected area gently with a damp cloth and allowing it to air dry.
While they don’t need sunlight or water, it’s advisable to keep them away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent colour fading and yarn damage.
