- 1). Wear gloves and clear the working area of other plants.
- 2). Dilute one part of bleach or rubbing alcohol with three parts of water in a bowl.
- 3). Soak the blade of your cutting tool in the bleach/alcohol solution for about 10 minutes.
- 4). Rinse and air dry or wipe the tool with a clean cloth.
- 5). Pinpoint the greenest (healthiest) part of the leaf, usually between the base of the plant, and past the line of discoloration.
- 6). Cut through this point (well into the green), in a straight line across the leaf's width, completely severing the unhealthy part of the leaf from the plant.
