How To Properly Use Neem Oil Soap Spray | For Pest Control And Clean Leaves!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- In this episode I clean nearly all my plants in the collection using different methods depending on many variables. This works for both indoor plants and outdoor gardening. I also device ways to clean many leaves in a very short amount of time - while doing pest control and stopping bacterial and fungal infections on its steps! This means using neem oil and fertilizer on nearly all of the plants! There’s a lot of lessons to learn here and it is also an incredibly soothing, healing, and satisfying episode as we got a lot done! You will also see how I clean leaves of different genus or plants. In the middle of the episode, I take a few minutes on an impromptu but satisfying repotting of some cacti.

Your the only TH-camr I would watch for hours. So make the videos as long as you want😊 you seem very happy lately. Organization can do that. I know I feel happier when everything is in its proper place.
I agree
Thank you 🙈
Agree. I usually just play them while working too. Entertaining and very informative. Especially for plant daddies living in tropical climates 😂
I appreciate your videos so much for the way that you tell us openly about how stressed out or unsure you're feeling about your plants. I see other channels where everything is perfect and huge and healthy and as a new plant enthusiast I can't really relate to that. Sometimes it makes me feel like maybe it's just me or maybe I'm just bad at this. You're obviously experienced and you do amazing things with your plants and hearing you talk about the hard work and the less successful attempts and the stress is honestly so reassuring. You always remind me that it's just all part of the process of learning and growing. I can't thank you enough 🖤
Nice said 👌🍃
Thank youu. Half my collection is doing amazing but its quite boring to talk about them. Its the process of rescue and care that brings joy and fulfillment to me. It is also how we can best learn about plant care
🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think your garden is absolutely gorgeous. I love your connection with them. I'm happy listening to you and treating all my living room and cabinet plants with neem oil at 1:30 am. ❤from Canada 🇨🇦
❤️ thank you
Most plant videos on TH-cam talk about their growing experiences in non-tropical areas but as I live in Taiwan your videos are the most helpful and informative for me! Thanks for the fun and honest videos on plants XD absolutely adore ✨🧚♂️
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for another video Sean, I like these long videos, I look forward to it every Saturday morning with my coffee and plant inspections.😊
Thank you 🥰🥰
In the Florida Keys, that huge fern is a Macho Fern. We plant it in the ground which is not nutrient rich (soil, sand and rock) and it grows like crazy. We use those as hedges because they require minimal care and only get watered by rain.
Thanks for this share!
You problems with the house are NOT normal. You're holding up remarkably well because I would have been crying in a corner and not been able to work at all. I LOVE your content so you must stay strong!
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
My heart sunk when you said you might have to move all your plants again. But there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Always love and support from London
Thank you. Hardships are lessons and part of life experiences. I’ve learnt to accept it
New houses can be full of problems, but old houses can too, of a different kind! In less than 12 months, I've had to replace the roof (twice!), put in a new HVAC system, and replace the backyard fence that fell over in a rainstorm. I hope you had a quick and satisfactory resolution to all the house woes. (I enjoyed "walking" around with you and treating your beautiful collection!)
Thank you
I wish I could grow these tropical plants outdoors like you do! During the summer I had three indoor plants vacationing outside on my balcony, a croton, a banana and a bird of paradise. All of them now look wonderful and I wish they will survive through the rough winter season indoors. My main issues are lack of light and humidity, but I've added both artificially.
Oh yeah they might be stunted with growth and maybe even scale back a bit during winter. I admire you guys determination to grow tropical plants where you are. It takes love and patience ❤️
You are definitely one of my favorite Sean keep those looooooonnnggg videos coming.
Whoaaa thank you 🙈🙈❤️
Omgosh so entertaining! The puppies falling over as you pour your water!!! 😂😂😂
I’m used to the neem oil stink too, at first that burnt garlic and bad breath smell was horrid!!
It felt so good this winter to let some of mine go, plant purge as it were, now I’m ready to find more wishlist plants this spring!
This was fun to watch and I learned quite a bit about pest control and leaf infection. Thank you for a great video. I love the long ones.
🥰🥰 thank youu
I’m feeling a shift in your energy, and it’s really good to see you. 🫂💚
Watching you blast that ficus with the hose instantly made me wanna go clean my plants 😅 this will be a good “clean with me” video for me later today ☺️
Thank u friend, take care!
Haha thank youu
I’m much deeper into the video now, and I feel your frustrations.
If anything at all is certain, it’s change. Keep your courage and keep doing the things you love! 🥺
love the longer video! Especially when it comes with such lovely showcases of your plants, I love seeing the plants sprayed down
😀😀
I super appreciate u included succulents. Thanks for sharing.
I live in a different country and I moved last year to a new house. Let me tell you my dear, this is normal, all the newly built homes have these problems. I mean, it’s been a year here and we are still discovering faults and problems. Stay strong and keep filming. I know how devastating this can be. But keep in my mind, this will pass. :)
Thank you for the share… I think more people need to share their experiences so everyone knows to expect this and be prepared. We usually only see the good and beautiful side of home ownership on social media…
Beautiful and true 👌🍃
Hi Sean, been missing your videos, yes life got hacked for me too, love your videos, and don't apologize for been human.
Even with all the "surprises" you have encounter in your new place, is very beautiful and congrats, hang in there. blessings on your way. Cheers
Me too 😃🍃
Thank you. Hope things are ok on your end, I remember your comments on nearly all my videos. I’m sending virtual positive energy back at you. 🙌🏽
😀😀
Your living wall and all of your plants look absolutely beautiful! Congrats! Nice job! Your videos are very good and keep them coming! I look forward to all of your videos! Don't be hard on yourself! You are doing great! Relax and enjoy your plant babies!
Thank youu 🥰
The mirror for the plants is awesome - what a great inspiration! I may copy it very soon 🙂
I also feel very happy after I sprayed them all with neem oil - they look so lush afterwards 🙂
Thank youuu. Im glad I found that trick with the mirror 😀
I laughed! I wanted to give you a hug! I felt validated! Thank you for a video with everything real 💗💗💗
Haha thank youu. Get over here *virtual hug
@@onlyplants 🤗
Merci Sean pour ces vidéos toujours très intéressantes et pleines d'énergie, un bon moment en ta compagnie. Le bonjour de France!
Merci 🥰❤️
Thanks so much for this post. This reminded me to spray my plants, used your mixture . 🙏🙏
They really perk up a few days after these sprays
Such a fun video 😘 I'm watching it for a second time right now ❤️🌱
🥰🥰 thank youu
Not everyday I see my name on something (neem sprayer) 😂😂 I’ve learned so much from your videos, thanks for doing what you do!!!
🙏🏽😀
Really love your vlogs, very educational yet funny..😅😅🌿🌿
🥰🥰 thank you
I love long videos. Keep up the good work
Thank youu. I loved making it
Hello! I love your videos, mostly I love to be there watching and listening as you take care of your plants because it’s very natural, I feel like we’re friends and you’re teaching about big and little things. Also love to listen to what you’re thinking when you see something on this or that plant, because that’s experience and knowledge being passed down to us 🥰 I’m confused as to what to do. I have a calathea and ordered two more. I want to clean them but should I use the first method where you rinse it or the second where you just let it sit? Is it good to rinse them in the shower? I hope you are able to respond, I could really use your advice 😊 thank you for your videos, keep them coming please! ❤❤
Hello, please do DM me on @bo.tan.ist as youtube does not notify me when you have replied to me comment. Its ok to shower your calatheas, they love clean leaves and its good to knock off pests.
Beautiful plants 👌🤗🍃
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Oh you read my mind. I was just watching your older videos yesterday as I’ve discovered mealybugs for the first time.
Ps, where can I get that aquatic fern? It’s beautiful
I got mine in a plant swap 🥹 not sure where the person got it from. Interested to know how to propagate it lol
Scindapsus coreaceus is very elegant and the tone of green is attractive. Don’t know about the variegated one though! 😊
Interestingggg people here grow them for the variegated 😆 but the green one is alright too. Could be nice on a shelf
@@onlyplants I know where I am (Canada) new build are notorious for being poorly made. We're renting one (first people to live in it) and frequently finding issues! All minor now though after a year.
I love the mirror hack! Hmmmmm....my house will end up looking like a mirror maze.. 😂
Haha and cleaning mirrors are not for the faintest of hearts
@@onlyplants Definitely not in my house! You know all the cute kittens that you have living outside your house? Mine all live inside, and those mirrors would be covered with cat (and dog) snotliva (snot and saliva)...eww. Turning the plants will have to do🤣
Please do a series on growing plants in hot Indonesian sun - which plants suit the sun and can be planted directly in the soil
Will be doing some soon. I have recently started to buy full sun plants 🥰
@@onlyplants thank you - looking forward to it
I love your new home🙏💞I appreciate your knowledge and growing tips🤲I see you have Hoya carnosa crimson princess👍💖I have that too. I have got the knack to growing it now😉here in Japan. I have really long, long, long Hoya bellas in my home too and I am becoming really good at growing them too. Does the neem oil cause any health problems using it indoors like you are doing?
The neem oil has only been beneficial with no notable side effects. Just dont apply concentrated and avoid too much light exposure immediately after applying as it is highly photo sensitive
is it happening to anyone else I m not getting notifications 🤔 I just noticed it because I was roaming. oh this reminds me I have to start winterizing plants and bringing them inside, feeling lazy thought 😅. seeing you clean that plant reminds me I. eed to clean mine, I m doing it right now.
Interesting… maybe youtube is going on the route of tik tok which encourages new discovery of content… cleaning leaves is so healing for you and the plant 🥰 its like walking a dog.
@@onlyplants and I really did clean the leaves of my rubber tree.
19:29 section fern and the other ostrich fern sooo cool but myself has never grown ferns successfully for long. i see them thriving on trees but my fruit trees are insect and aphids prone so i bring them indoor and i could not make the ferns grow beautifully like u showed in ur previouus home plant tours
I just came across your channel and really enjoyed this video and seeing all your gorgeous plants. I am fairly new to houseplant care and learning as I go. I am in the UK and trying all ways to combat the dreaded fungus gnats, and most recently have found mealy bugs on my Jade plant. Will neem oil help with the fungus gnats too?
Yes neem oil works on fungus gnats too 😀
You need a few applications a few days apart to break their life cycle
Hi Sean! Thank you for this video! I have a calathea that I think might be infected with some fungus or some bacterial infection. I’m not seeing any bugs on it. Just wondering if I should be rinsing it after using the neem/soap/water solution.
Neem oil can help stop infection. Calatheas are quite slow and difficult to rehab but Ive done it before 😀
Thank you for this informative video and lovely plants show. May I know can this spray be applied to Tillandsia?
Yes it can. Tillandsia is not particularly prone to pests though so go easy on pesticide unless you have infestation. Make sure you shake the plant completely dry after spraying.
What do you think about cinnamon...making a tea to spray or water all houseplants for fungi, gnats and spider mites to name a few?
They are excellent fungicide but Im not sure of their pest control properties… it is quite possible though
I love your videos!! I am fairly new, but if you don't have one already, would you do a video on your potting medium? Looks like a loooot of coco chunks! With such an extensive collection, have you considered using beneficial insects? I'm not sure how available they are in Jakarta, but they are readily available in the states. I do not use this as I only have plants in one room of my house, but I'm sure they would help you out a lot!
Ok I found the potting mix video and feel a bit silly now lol. Btw I loved the clips of the malamute puppies falling over. It's great you can joke about little mistakes! No need to take life too seriously
Hehe yes I have a feeling I should make the care videos again since there are lots of new viewers since I filmed those ages ago
Okay question. When you say ‘let this go’, what do you mean? I want to let some of my plants go too. But I’m conflicted on throwing it in the trash bin ☹️
Sometimes its the trash only if its hopeless and in no condition to gift. But 90% of the case I place them in a basket and notify the neighbourhood groupchat that they can come pick them up. Its usually gone in 15 min.
Hi, thanks for sharing, may I ask does neem oil help to prevent or protect plant from rust disease?
Snake plants needs mostly light not too much water and they should be fine. Just take your time sean little at a time you only can film what you can. 😉
🥰🥰
The large dome of a Grand Mosque in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta collapsed after a major fire, without causing any casualties.
Prayers.
Yeah its insane. Indonesia building standards can be scary sometimes… sad that something di beautiful has come down
So sorry to hear for ur new house,its very common for the contractor/ builder not properly install plumbing and electrical unskilled and unethical work ethic is the problem I hope u can sort things out by not moving around ur plants too much..... good luck mate
Thank you, these are all good lessons
@@onlyplants just this morning i found a live electrical wire in my fishpond....god demn it seriously
“Constipation, slow and painful death” lol
Yes 🥹🥹 its sad but satisfying at the same time 🙊
i feel for u. best to check with a person u r close to and ask some expert to consult just to be there and oversee how they are doing things i think they are trying to skim you for money its also true where i live. if u have a blue print of the haus check with them where tgose pipes come and go and ask them questions as to what they intend to do and see for yourself if it make sense. we may not be handymen but im sure you vcan infer if something isnt right with how they intend to fix it
Thank you
Fab video! 😍
Thank you 🥹
i see that u mix fertz in ur spray. is it bec of a tested brand or any of the same generic be fine for spraying it on leaves?
Make sure the packaging says its suitable for foliar spray. I use growmore brand and they are used for both foliar and soil
Superb! Thanks…
Thank you 🥰
I jeolous.. your hoyas so beautiful
🙏🏽🙏🏽
do you apply fertilizer in the soil ie compost, chicken poo etc?
Nopee but I do a bit of worm casting. I try to avoid natural fertilizer as I am an overwaterer and that can cause rot very easily.
Does anyone know the name of the aquatic fern 19:05 ? I’ve been searching online for a name for the past 3 weeks with no luck. I’m reaching out for any help please 🙏
Thank you
I need that ID too lol. I actually saw it in two shows in Indonesia and Thailand but no species ID
That kind of fern already taking lot of space under my aircon area ,they trhive like crazy but I can keep my sanity by not taking care of them at all😂. I'l DM you later.
Woo interesting I guess they might like it cooler too
Nice 😊😊😊😊.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Doesnt soap destroy active substance in neem? Soap is alkaline and I heard alkaline kills the neem substance...
Ive not heard this before… but I make soaps with essential oils and for years. Also people do make neem soap… its very good for the skin and hair 😀
Does Neem oil work on spider mites
Ouuu yes very much so 😀
I wash my leavs wit Black soap
❤️ that might work too
I think with the amount of your plant collection you might need to consider to get bigger sprayer 😂 you can use the little one when you only have to treat small amount of plants or certain area of your collection.
I had a large sprayer actually… but it broke down and it was actually made with a lot of plastic… (I’m against plastic use). I dont have the heart to pick up another one
Can i get the name of each kind and its measurement.thank you
Neem oil (any brand)
Dish soap (any brand)
Growmore slow release fertilizer 13:13:13
And Ive never ever measured, always eyeball everything. But keep dilution of each ingredient less than 1% of total volume. A little actually goes a long way.
@@onlyplants thank you for your reply.i hope i can get one of the billitea variegated,when you dispose it.God bless you more and more power.
The fern need self watering pot
Yes I need to find a nice one for it 🥹
First I was very disappointed with neem oil.I thought its just an overrated gimmick.After two days I saw all tge aphids were dead , it works once it gets absorbed in the Sap !
Oh yes they work wonders. Many plants essential oils do it too but neem is one that is affordable and has more benefits than harm to the plant
🌍☮️🌲
❤️❤️
19:50 name of the fern, I beg you!!!!
I wish someone can name it in the comment cuz I dont know 🙇🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️
@@onlyplants oh no... I am from Poland, would you say it's possible for me to find it?
Thank you for answering! I love your videos, and am absolutely obsessed with your thaumathophyllum and all your home! Would you do a home tour? If I could, I would build home just like yours 😁
In my life I've moved 18 times and IMO moving house is only stressful if you allow it to be. C'mon Sean, be a man about it - although shabby building can be very annoying. I'll grant you that.
With a thousand houseplants dying during the process and the inability to shoot any content in the time period though… this home is also my office… and living space for many plants… A lot of which I have now lost
@@onlyplants I really sympathize with you Sean, but sad as that may be, you don’t have room for that many plants anyway. Imagine trying to cram all those into your apartment…
Better focus on the future which will be bright, you’re a very hard working guy and you seem to have good contacts. Just hang in there, you’ll be OK!
You have a right to be upset. Paid to get a house. Why did the builder hire such crap workers? They have severely damaged the house with their negligence and carelessness
I believe most of the workforce in Indonesia is largely incompetent… these inefficiencies and lack of skill can be found in nearly all industries unfortunately 🥹
The contractor of that building is not good.
Yeahhh it was terrible. The whole neighbourhood was affected
Ya, propagating multiple dischidia is not hoarding. 😄
😀😀
