Very beautiful and healthy plant! Do you ever wash the leaves?

I used to grow many of these plants...they used to bloom almost all year. I found the secret to washing the leaves to prevent white aphids from taking over the plants. I found out when washing the leaves, the water temperature must be over 80 degrees or the leaves will spot.

Oh, great tip Delonix. I'm getting addicted. No real pest problems but the leaves do get a little dingey. I don't want rust so haven't washed. Now I can! They all seem to go into an intense green growth cycle for the next few months, than back to blooming. :-)
