@CazSantiago2 жыл бұрын
Typically, I mix my neem oil spray solution on the same day I will be using it. I adjust the ingredient amounts depending on how many plants I'm spraying. The longer you keep the mixed solution in the spray bottle, the less potent it gets. My favorite recipe is: 16 oz water (I have well water so I use tap water), 1 tsp neem oil, 1/2 tsp Sal Suds, 10-15 drops peppermint essential oil. Sometimes I half the solution if I'm not spraying as many of my plants that day. Hope this helps!

I’m a pretty new plant parent only since June 2020 So far, I’ve had zero bugs. Thanks for making this I will start cleaning my new plants w a preventative treatment.. 2 questions: 1- how long can you store the gallon of soap, neem & peppermint & water for? Seems like it’ll take a while to use that much 2- how often would you suggest this cleaning? When you get a new plant & then? I’ve been just cleaning my plants with rain water every 2 weeks so far.. I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️
@GoodandPlanty3 жыл бұрын
hi catherine! how exciting that you've started your plant journey!! 1 - i go through a lot of this solution due to the amount of plants i have. i probably store it for about a month. i'm not sure that it would go "bad" but i would just make sure the solution doesn't separate. if needed, maybe half the recipe i shared. 2 - i have been upping my cleaning for the winter months for sure. in the summer i would aim for once a month. in the winter, maybe once every two weeks. this is so much easier said than done, though! that's just my ideal routine :) rainwater is a great way to gently cleanse your plants!

I was also told that is why Dr. Bronners Castile soap is highly recommended because dish soaps are super stripping. The light bulb went off. I really don’t think any kind of dish soap is great advice. Ijs.

Actually, it will last up to four days in water. 22 days in soil, 4 days in water. So, if you do a soil drench, you can do it every three weeks, but if you’re spraying it on the leaves, the mixture will only last for four days. The potency of the oil anyways. I still use mine to clean the leaves, but I know that the oil isn’t working like it should after four days.
