@paijittrasantawin5062 Жыл бұрын

I spray neem oil mix immediately after I saw flower seedlings eaten by bugs. Spray for 3 days and bugs still ate all seedlings. It was too fast to stop them eating. I lost all seedlings😢 But other flowers and plants that grown big enough, not seedlings, I spray neem oil on them as well and it works well, rarely see a damage on foliage by bugs eating them

Neem doesnot kill on contact, it makes the bugs stop eating , stop mating, so you will Not see immediate results

You need to be very careful with Neem Oil, yes it is a natural insecticide but it is also deadly to the most important pollinating insect "bees". Vegetable/Canol/cooking oil is way safer for the bees, it just takes more applications. Good video.

Thanks for watching. Honestly I assumed cooking oils would just coat the leaves and clog. I’ll look into that.

Do not put baking soda on plants kzfaq.infoQgTsuM1-UI4?feature=share Like any harvest, wash and clean thoroughly indoors. I usually spray in the evenings then water in the mornings since the critters are most active at night.

Hello if i dont have the neem oil can i use boil neem water?

@lauracoteDIY Жыл бұрын

I’m no expert but i believe the oil comes from the neem seeds/kernels when pressed, not from the leaves. The cold pressed bottled oil is very common to purchase. Maybe with a little searching you can find a way to use the leaves!?

Does not work at home I've tried this for the last 10 years in Florida every time I try to go with this approach to do it every year organically. But unfortunately you cannot stop Florida bugs. You have to go a different approach unless you have a control climate which would be greenhouse grown indoors.

I personally never noticed a reduction of bees or dead bees on the soil. It’s meant to kill eggs/camouflaged critters that exist on the leaves. However i cannot verify. I have a lot of flowers nearby the bees like to visit! I only spray my veggies not flowers.
