Neem oil is one of the safest, most versatile products in the shop, but it's also one of the most misused. Neem oil does not mix with water on its own — it will float and clump — so always add a few drops of a mild liquid soap or dedicated emulsifier first, then add water gradually while stirring.
Spray in the evening or early morning, never in strong midday sun, since neem can scorch leaves in direct heat. Cover the undersides of leaves where pests hide, and repeat every 7 days for 3 weeks to break the pest life cycle. More concentrate is not more effective — over-dosing can damage tender growth. Ask us for the correct dilution ratio for your specific pest problem.
