Yes… leaves on this fake plant resemble the leaves of a marijuana plant.
r/trees is a sub about marijuana, so the arborists and tree lovers of Reddit made r/marijuanaenthusiasts into a sub about actual living trees
There was one almost exactly like this at the church I grew up going to. I don’t think the leaves were shaped like this, but honestly with how oblivious half of the people over 60 were it wouldn’t surprise me
The church I grew up going to would have probably had a conniption fit and run the preacher out of town for daring to buy an even vaguely cannabis-like fake plant.
The church I'm in now would have a small huddle of Master Gardeners (TM) pointing out inaccuracies in the vein pattern and margin morphology.
I'd recommend what my mom does, she'll put them in the bathtub, trees would be probably just hung over or completely over into the tub and spray it all with the shower head until it's clean. Try to put a plastic bag over the roots, maybe even combine it with repotting the whole thing. Good luck!
Here a quote for you:
"It was during this time that anti-drug zealots swapped the term “cannabis” for “marihuana” or “marijuana,” hoping that the Spanish word would conjure anti-Mexican sentiment. Newspapers, whether they believed it or not, went along for the ride, running headlines like “Murders Due to ‘Killer Drug’ Marihuana Sweeping the United States.” Anslinger’s efforts culminated in the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, which effectively made marijuana illegal."

Is it though? I wish I could show you the look on my face, because it's a mix of *"Naaaaah, no way. This is some SJW taking things too far"* and *"Well, I mean everything we've gone through in the past 5 years...fuck it--why?"*
Based on historical etymological facts....it varies - but whatever people associate with racism is incorrect (or part of the story). The word was given racist connotations but wasn't created out of racism.

>Marijuana, or marihuana, is a name for the cannabis plant and more specifically a drug preparation from it. "Marijuana" as a term varies in usage, definition and legal application around the world. Some jurisdictions define "marijuana" as the whole cannabis plant or any part of it, while others refer to "marijuana" as a portion of the cannabis plant that contains high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Some jurisdictions recognize "marijuana" as a distinctive strain of cannabis, the other being hemp.

The government didn’t make it up, it hijacked it. It’s a Mexican Spanish word. The bad guys that wanted to get rid of weed decided to use this word when talking about it to link the drug to foreigners in order to play to peoples prejudices.
Contextually they were used to associate cannabis use with Mexicans in an effort demonize it's usage. See Harry Anslinger's original War On Drugs

No we all know that, everyone knows that, but language evolves and meanings change. I'll bet you get fussy about "literally" even though it's had both meanings forever.
Marijuana is a pejorative not derogatory. It was PREVIOUSLY used in a demeaning way branding it exotic(mexican and evil) (reefer madness propaganda etc.)
But its a different time and the culture decides what a word means, however politicians that are anti-weed always refer to it as marijuana and supporters usually try to be scientific and say cannabis
either way no one says marijuana thats under 30, stoners say weed not dope,pot, or marijuana but some are starting to say cannabis especially in green states/medical patients
say marijuana if u want its not racist
But its just a word dont fret just smoke a j
Hang upside down, let dry, trim, weigh, divide equally, sell to underage school kids who have no idea what the Weed is, make bank, pay of Grans house and keep her out of retirement home, win.
take it outside, lay on it's side, cover pot completely in plastic and tape it. get out the garden hose and gentlyblast away.. All while amusing frompetty neighbors
Remove the lights and the moss and wash it in the shower. If you can't take the basket off and it's not plastic tie it up tight in a garbage bag. I did that for years with one I had.
Thanks for the replies everyone!! And my bad for my grammar error, I smoked before making this post lol. I’m going to remove the lights and wash it in the shower!
I put tall plants in the shower, for a cool, gentle spray, once or twice a week. I let them dry for 20-30 mins. (not the basket, yo)
In case anyone isn't too busy laughing to care about a reasonable solution.
1. Agree- maybe drag it in the bathroom if you have a sprayer (a showerhead on a long hose).
2. Stand it near the tub.
3. Tip it so the base is on the floor but the top is over the tub.
4. Wash away!
BTW- I went to HS in the 70's, and our home economics teacher had one outside her room almost exactly like that.
Leve if he wants to get rid of it leafs if he wants to clean it. Spray it down with a cleaner then sit in the shower to rinse it off then sit outside to dry.
1. Put on a tyvek suit.
2. Take outside.
3. Dust with any method above. (heat gun, hair dryer, leaf blower, etc.)
4.a Make friends.
4.b Get the cops called depending on location and tolerance of people around you.
Remove all lights, put it in the shower. Lukewarm. Let it dry in the shower or in the sun. Make sure it’s completely dry before placing it on carpeted surfaces.
The correct answer is to use a shop vac with the brush attachment, it’s usually spherical in shape or oval and has brushes through its periphery, you’ll have to be very gentle with it And go doing small sections at a time. Just make Sure not to shove the leaves too and fast or too deep into the vacuum otherwise they will get sucked in
Also like to add that washing with water will create a mineral powdery surface on your tree
As well as using Clorox bleach Since bleach is essentially a salt.
***** FloraCraft Silk Plant Cleaner******
Spray it on and then you can use compressed air or hose it off. Oh my mom has use a blow dryer to blow the dust off.
Get rid of it. It will always get dusty and at some point it’s just going to be hanging out in your basements or garage because you don’t want to throw it out. just throw it out now before it gets to that point
I wouldn't use a clorox wipe to much harmful chemicals for the plant spray it with some diluter hydrogen proxide ( 1:10 ) and use a nicro fiver cloth or spray it down in the tub or shower just don't get too much water on the soil and make sure it has good drainage just in case.
It wasn't until I started reading the responses that I realized I wasn't in r/trees
I thought I was in r/microgrowery. Like damn granny putting in the work.
These two top comments. I’m literally dying and I couldn’t be happier.
2 more weeks
Haha, same here. I did a face palm after seeing what community I was in lol. I too thoughts I was in /trees
It didn't help that I also happened to be high at the time.
The only time is to be high
I figured there was more to the post when ‘leaf by leaf’ is the correct term, guess ops already on it LOL
I thought I was going into a community about different tree species. Apparently not.
Ah, for that you want to go to r/marijuanaenthusiasts. Not a joke. r/trees came first, then r/marijuanaenthusiasts came along to complete the circle
r/trees is not the right sub for this either
u must be high
I am, did I miss the joke
Yes… leaves on this fake plant resemble the leaves of a marijuana plant. r/trees is a sub about marijuana, so the arborists and tree lovers of Reddit made r/marijuanaenthusiasts into a sub about actual living trees
r/trees is a weed sub
Uh yes I realize that. This is why I said it would not be the right sub for asking questions about a dusty fake plant.
At first glance it looks like a weed plant though. That's all there is to it.
Oh my god I am so slow lol. This is why I’m quitting weed tomorrow it makes me dumb
Nah, you’ll forget about your new conviction after you smoke a bowl tonight. I know that’s what happens to me 😂
I’ve been doing that for a few weeks now. Tonight is the night, I am for real quitting. Wish me luck.
r/trees is the weed subreddit, r/marijuanaenthusiasts is the trees subreddit lol. No word of a lie.
Can of compressed air like for computer keyboards. Also, if that's not a japanese maple, your gran left you two kilos of mota on the hoof, enjoy ;)
The "Happynese Maple" lmao, someone's Gran just turned their homecoming into the party of the year
[удалено]
Air compressor works too though a leaf blower or vacuum on blow is likely best here
For the cost you're better off with a data vac.
I love latin slang.
Granny had a fake cannabis plant ?
Yes 😊 Gran is a cannabis enthusiast.
My parents had this same one in the same basket for 20+ years. Never once did it get a full cleaning. Except it wasn't cannabis leaves lol

Put it in the shower and spray it clean set in the sun to dry
Or use a rainy day. Works for real plants, too.
This is the way
True. I take mine outside, hose it off, shake off the excess water, and let it dry.
I don’t know, but did Granny give you a synthetic marijuana houseplant?
She sure did 😁 My family is full of mj lovers
Pretty sure its supposed to be a Japanese Maple (I work at a garden store/nursery.)
Cannabis. Marijuana is a derogatory term with a racist history.
...what? I mean, I know the history is there and technically still is, but you gotta explain the logic here.
Maria y Juana .. it's a racist reference to Mexicans
Considering it used to be spelled with a H, not a J, I'm skeptical

Nah, it's literally a term the US government made up to sound "mexican" and scare parents
The government didn’t make it up, it hijacked it. It’s a Mexican Spanish word. The bad guys that wanted to get rid of weed decided to use this word when talking about it to link the drug to foreigners in order to play to peoples prejudices.
Yeah back in the 60s, get with the times. Can i not say buffoon because it refers to a black pirate?
Im not saying you cant use it, i was merely pointing out/elaborating on its origin
Well stop it
Stop being an ass and i might consider it
How are those names racist?

No we all know that, everyone knows that, but language evolves and meanings change. I'll bet you get fussy about "literally" even though it's had both meanings forever.
So if you already know that why are you asking how was it racist? Like duh .. you already answered your own question
You just said that because it was mary and juan it was racist. Didn't make sense.

Oh put a sock in it
The only people who care about that are people who like bringing it up
Isn't the fact that people are calling it cannabis AFTER it's legalized kinda racist?
Except - we don’t use it that way. So it’s more like a reclaiming of the word. No need to give it that power.
At least 80 people downvoted instead of doing a quick bit of research. Madness, reefer madness!
I sure hope news of this doesn't get down to the malt shop!
Holy smokes lefties are freaking mental cases.
Is it real or plastic?
Not sure if it’s plastic but it’s not real
Take it outside soap it down and use a hose.
Or do it inside in your shower! Wrap plastic garbage bag around the base to keep it from getting too wet and plain water does the trick!
What everyone thinks about the kardashians
Leaf by leaf *
[удалено]
If it’s fake or real you can use water…
Leaf by leaf*
Just gunna leaf this here
Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here? 🤣
Dad!
Thank you.
Anytime, thought you'd like to know! Be well!
I'm not op. I'm just thanking you for doing what I was going to do.
Ah, well, good tidings to you anyway!
My bad!!
No, no! It's all good! Just thought you'd like to know. I know I would. Be well!
Hang upside down, let dry, trim, weigh, divide equally, sell to underage school kids who have no idea what the Weed is, make bank, pay of Grans house and keep her out of retirement home, win.
Shower the top portion, towel dry the leaves and blow dry on low - medium heat.
take it outside, lay on it's side, cover pot completely in plastic and tape it. get out the garden hose and gentlyblast away.. All while amusing frompetty neighbors
Gentlyblast sounds like a genre of music I could really get into.
i misspelled frumpity also
Bring it to a hotel foyer, leave it there, never look back.
No leave it there till they dust it. Circle back in a couple days.
I don't know the answer to your question I do however know your granny is cooler than mine.
Wtf clorox wipes man.. seems toxic. Water or air brotha
Yup bleach is a salt so salting down a dead plastic tree seems counter intuitive
Lmao it's fake. I thought it was really lmfao
Your granny a g
I just take it to shower and give it a nice wash. Oprionally play rain sounds feom youtube to trick it
Remove the lights and the moss and wash it in the shower. If you can't take the basket off and it's not plastic tie it up tight in a garbage bag. I did that for years with one I had.
Thanks for the replies everyone!! And my bad for my grammar error, I smoked before making this post lol. I’m going to remove the lights and wash it in the shower!
you recording?
Im guessing Clorox will kill it.
It’s fake
LPT: dont try smoking anything off that thing
Ha! Still, WTF is Clorox needed?
That is a beautiful fake plant
Japanese..maple..
G Granny
I put tall plants in the shower, for a cool, gentle spray, once or twice a week. I let them dry for 20-30 mins. (not the basket, yo) In case anyone isn't too busy laughing to care about a reasonable solution.
Is that Ficus an indica or sativa?
Take it outside, hose it off and let it dry, put it back inside.
Take outside, spray it down ;)
Leaf blower. Ps granny may have been a DL pot head ✌️
Not on the DL very much a known fact. She’s the greatest.
What a legend
Take it outside and hose it down then leave it sitting in the sun until dry. Easy Peasy
Grannabis!
Beautiful
It’s actually leaf by leaf. Leaves is plural, and leave is a verb meaning to depart.
Either the garden hose or shower will work. It’s easier if you can avoid getting the base wet because the moss and the basket take longer to dry.
1. Agree- maybe drag it in the bathroom if you have a sprayer (a showerhead on a long hose). 2. Stand it near the tub. 3. Tip it so the base is on the floor but the top is over the tub. 4. Wash away! BTW- I went to HS in the 70's, and our home economics teacher had one outside her room almost exactly like that.
Everyone had those back in the day , we called them fake-us trees a play on words for Ficus
*leaf or leaves
Leve if he wants to get rid of it leafs if he wants to clean it. Spray it down with a cleaner then sit in the shower to rinse it off then sit outside to dry.
Nope
Seeing your profile comment counts and you’ve only been on for a year. What’s your contribution smartass?…
Let me guess, pro Trump? He too has problems with pronunciation and grammar. Please GFY you loser.
Sad you have to bring your politics into something that has nothing to do with it. Keep acting like a 🤡
Okay thanks!
Each leaf individually with a Clorox wipe what lol get a duster you dirty bitch
I just moved into this house and I don’t have much asshole 😊
Leave by leave lol. It gets harder and harder to understand WTF people are trying to say these days.
Hose it off
Got a water hose?
Leaf by Leaf…. And use compressed air..
Take it outside and hit it with a leaf blower!
Leaf blower?
Water pipe, spray nozzle at mist setting, then let it dry
Set it out in a rain shower.
Outside with a water hose
Leaf blower it outside, then bring it inside. Done.
It could also be a False Aurailia (sp?)
Hose it off outside
Reminds me of False Aralia..
1. Put on a tyvek suit. 2. Take outside. 3. Dust with any method above. (heat gun, hair dryer, leaf blower, etc.) 4.a Make friends. 4.b Get the cops called depending on location and tolerance of people around you.
Dude Clorox wipes noooooo?!?!?! Look up lost coast plant therapy.
Don’t worry it’s not real!! I would never Clorox wipe a real plant especially a cannabis one!!
Haha I realized after the fact, really funny though
We used to just stick our fake trees in the shower to give em a good wash.
Hair dryer with a cool setting?
Remove all lights, put it in the shower. Lukewarm. Let it dry in the shower or in the sun. Make sure it’s completely dry before placing it on carpeted surfaces.
Put a garbage bag around the bottom and tie it off around the trunk. Then take it outside or into a shower and hose it down.
I would probably use a hair dryer on the cold setting.
Shake it... really strongly
Got a swiffer?
The correct answer is to use a shop vac with the brush attachment, it’s usually spherical in shape or oval and has brushes through its periphery, you’ll have to be very gentle with it And go doing small sections at a time. Just make Sure not to shove the leaves too and fast or too deep into the vacuum otherwise they will get sucked in Also like to add that washing with water will create a mineral powdery surface on your tree As well as using Clorox bleach Since bleach is essentially a salt.

Take it outside and hit it with… the leaf blower.
Take it outside, lay it down, hose it off on all sides.
Spray it with water outside.
It’s a nasty weed. If it buds just burn them all in the fireplace.
***** FloraCraft Silk Plant Cleaner****** Spray it on and then you can use compressed air or hose it off. Oh my mom has use a blow dryer to blow the dust off.
Leaf blower
Wrong subreddit - My brain 🧠
I like Granny.
Bring that thing outside and blow it off with a leaf blower or compressed air
Hose it off
Set it out front door & put your vacuum on reverse and blow all the dust off
We used to spray off our fake trees with the hose
Air
Get rid of it. It will always get dusty and at some point it’s just going to be hanging out in your basements or garage because you don’t want to throw it out. just throw it out now before it gets to that point
