I have many indoor house plants (jade plant, money tree, ponytail palms, aloe Vera, climbing aloe, zz plants and succulents). I read that rubbing coconut oil on leaves would help keep pests off them and also make them look shiny so I did rub all of my plants with a coat of coconut oil front and back. Then after reading more about it online, I'm worried that I clogged their stomata and now they can't breathe. Is it safe to put coconut oil on both sides of indoor plants? If it's unsafe, how can I save my plants? Please help.
