Lol nice dusty leaves... No worries I have them too! If you want a tip, try a neem oil water and very small amount of organic soap solution to clean the leaves... Leaves them with a brilliant shine but keep out of direct sunlight.

Good job on the spikes! Tis the season, finally!

Well I don't have any shows in the forseeable future so does that mean that I can just ignore them?
