ABSTRACT:
A plant care device for cleaning and/or the application of fluids to the leaves of decorative foliage plants including a pair of opposed inwardly flexible arms connected at one end thereof for normal outwardly biased disposition with regard to each other in an open position of the device. The other ends of the arms are each provided with an enlarged generally flat headed portion in turn receiving at each inner surface thereof, a fluid absorbable pad, said pads adapted to close upon each other in the closed position of the device with a plant leaf interposed therebetween. The flexibility of the arms enables the device to be gently closed upon the leaf and accordingly enable the cleaning or fluid application tasks to be accomplished without tearing or otherwise breaking a leaf.
