Good video, Scott. I had success using rubbing alcohol for scale on a lemon tree, in addition to neem oil. A little on a Q-tip applied to the scale avoided damaging the plant.

I bought the same neem oil you were using; I was so frustrated with awful orange aphids on my butterfly plants that were attempting to survive their 2nd year. So gross and btw I'd NEVER seen orange aphids with black legs. I sprayed everything in sight, including my tomatoes and roses. I am impatient. I thought the solution didn't work because the next day there were still aphids, dead and alive on my plants; however on the 2nd day all attackers were gone. It's been a week and all of my plants are critter free. Thanks for the video, a great help for sure. BTW I just came across your video about Phoebe. So sorry she had such issues! Think I told you we are on corgi #6 and I wish we had more, I adore them, they have been my constant companions since 1982. My mom had one as well when I was a teen in the islands. God is good; there are still people out there in these challenging times who still believe in the values I, at least grew up believing, and they are caring and generous. I kiss Howie each night. (short for Hell On Wheels, which he was when we rescued him in 2019) He was a 2 time throw away and was only 1-1/2 years old! He still gets upset if one of us is missing from the house for any length of time, poor guy, but he is a ball of fire!

Hey there! I have used Neem oil for years here in San Antonio. I have learned if I use in the daytime, my leaves will burn. So, I brave the mosquitos in the evening and spray my plants being careful not to get the flowers for the bees sake. Then I go out early before the sun is completely up and hose everything down. This has worked pretty well on everything except for the SVB. They’re the devil. Love your videos!

Wow. I haven't encountered that problem yet, but there ARE a lot of aphids in my area. I thought we were going to lose my wife's Crape Myrtle trees because of the aphids. After weeks of spraying them with soapy water, we finally thinned down the aphid population. But it's an ongoing battle. You seem to be feeling better, or at least you're putting up a good front. Keep cranking out the awesome content. I love learning all I can about gardening. Now I need to watch some David The Good vids. lol

My argument regarding neem oil or any plant oil for that matter, it is an oil, right? In treating my Cycad against aphids and scale, I cut off all the leaves of the Cycad and then put methelated spirits in spray bottle and sprayed the complete trunk of the Cycad, and using a paint brush to really get into the "woolie" bits of the trunk where these crawlies are hiding. My Cycad is doing extremely well since the treatment and is happy, no more aphid or scale. Finally, it has five brand new leaves. I think, if you can use neem oil on plants, then surely methelated spirits is a definite option as a form of maintenance against aphids and scale. I have tried and tested it twice now, and it works!

Yeah, I normally just manually remove a lot of the scale and then spray with white oil (soap and vegetable oil) I use neem oil as a general remedy when I'm not sure what I'm dealing with on the plants. I'm careful not to use neem oil around flowering plants though to protect the bees as best I can. Nice video Scott 👍

You can also use the neem mix to perform a deep soil soak so that the plant absorbs the azadirachtin, nimbin, picrin, and sialin in the oil which is deadly to the aphids and mealy bugs and all types of scale.

@@stevemcmullen4100 Steve, I have been using raw, cold pressed neem oil as a soil soak for two years and have noticed NO changes in fruit (Meyer lemon, Key limes, Persian limes, grapefruits, and curry plant leaves)appearances and taste. From what I’ve read in the various journals the neem oil is not harmful to humans and has been used for centuries in India as a medicinal as well as a cosmetic remedy. I am, by the way, still alive and gardening with neem oil in Nashville. It appears to me that the use of neem oil obviates the need for anything else to remedy insect pests when used as a soil soak.

1.2g of xanthan gum in 10ml vegetable glycerin will disperse 30g neem in a gallon of water. Make a slurry with the xanthan and glycerin, add the neem and half a liter of water and blend with an immersion blender. Wait 5 minutes and blend again now that the xanthan is fully hydrated. Add that into a deck sprayer and add enough water to make a gallon. Shake it up and you’ve got a nice homogenous mix that sprays nicely and will stick better to your foliage. Xanthan gum is used in any myriad applications where you want a homogenous suspension of oils in water, and glycerine has beneficial properties for plants per the studies I’ve read.

I've heard of using neem as a systemic for potted indoor plants. Spraying indoors with Neem during the long midwest winters is impossible for large plants. The oil would get everywhere. I can't seem to find out if Neem added to watering works, though. I've gotten a lot out of your other videos, hopefully you can advise me about this possibility too.

I sprayed my plants last night with neem and soap, and today was 100 and the edges and leaves where it would have puddled more in of a lot the leaves were a weird purplish/blackened! So perhaps its best not to spray in high heat weather at all. My plants were also very young, not sure if that's a factor, I've never seen it before.

I love Neem oil it is a Miracle juice for plants. Trying to spray at the right time at night now that the days are longer. And I don’t want to kill any bees (that is also why you don’t spray during the sunlight hours). I just used Neem spray to get rid of the chewing bugs on some of my plants and need to mix up some more TY for the reminder. As for the Pseudimold that is what they call it down here. It is a mold created exactly as you explained. (Hubby works for a lawn and ornamental company so been hearing about that and scale for years). Also he has let me know some holes or damage in leaves is from water left on certain plant leaves as it will rot holes in it, maybe because it suffocates the plant cells it sits on top of 🤷🏻‍♀️. I know the popular hedge plant-Ixora gets a lot of infestations down here and the pseudimold is how they spot where the bugs are the most concentrated. Great job Scott! (Forgive my spelling). I so wish I was as great like you DTG at making videos this was great.
