    I have safer antifungal neem oil- ready to use... I sprayed on my plant but I dont know for how long I have to leave on leaves and when I have to wipe... Should I wipe instantly of wait for few hours after spray and then wipe off... Secondly if my plants healthy then also I need to spray the neem oil every month or just when I saw the infection...

    Question: after the been formula mixture application. Can the second wipe down be replaced with just a quick hosing???

    Neem oil stinks We have some and we couldn't use it because it stinks too bad

    That product has than 1% Neem Oil. 😞 That's why it doesn't stink.

    For that amount of water 1tbsp is too much, I’d say 1/2tsp instead. I have the Bliss neem oil and it says to use 1 1/2tsp for a quart of water. You also have to store the clear bottle in a dark place as the neem oil will loose its benefits if it stays out in a bright area. I’ll have to check that soap, I use the regular blue Dawn.

      @TheJungleUpstairs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think that should be fine, just make sure not to use too much!

    What size pot is your monstera in? It's not root-bound? Also, how do you keep it from getting root rot being indoors?

    • @muCephei_
      @muCephei_ ปีที่แล้ว

      root rot happens from overwatering but you probably know that now

    Hi! This is the best idea I’ve found, my only question is, I saw that you can wash the leave with the water and soap, then rinse, then use the neem oil. Is it okay to leave the soap like that? Or is it because of the type of soap? I hope you can respond to my message 😊 thank you!

      @TheJungleUpstairs  3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @elizabethkim3227
    @elizabethkim3227 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Does wiping it off with water after applying your mixture remove the neem?

    • @miaalmanza5344
      @miaalmanza5344 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Neem oil is hydrophobic so probably not, but it might dilute it or ruin the effect by wiping it out?

    Could you use this spray on plants that have "fuzzy" leaves?

    • @minka.trnkvst
      @minka.trnkvst 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I wouldn't use neem oil or anything that makes the leaves shiny for velvet-y, matte leaves if that's what you mean? I personally just wipe mine with a damp microfiber cloth, but i've heard diluting white vinegar with water works. I havent tried it myself though! Test it on a small part of a leaf first and wait a day or so before doing the whole plant, just to see if your plant reacts badly to it.

    • @TheJungleUpstairs
      @TheJungleUpstairs  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, exactly!!
