I have myself a saucer for my plant and everytime I would spray foliage the leaves, water will be caught in the saucer. i would find tiny clearish white with humpish type bug that flop around in the water. oh, they can jump too.. also they could walk on dry spots in the saucer. what are these buggers? and would they cause harm?

how often do I spray the leaves with neem oil for preventative care?
I try to spray the leaves with water +2-7-7 scotts liquid ferts @ half strength atleast twice a day.

CAN I MIX neem oil and ferts together?? and spray twice a day..?

thanks

Dont let your plants stand in water empty your saucer and keep it clean.

any tips on to foliage spraying with neem oil?

I wouldn't try to spray neem oil or mix with fertz. I would use a soft clean rag to wipe neem oil onto the plants. Don't glob it on though a nice thin coat every other day should do the trick. And yes, no standing water.

Hi All !!!

I would NOT mix fertiliser with neem oil!!!!!!

Mix the neem oil as directed! Spray plants, make sure to get underside of leaves that's where they live.

I spray till liquid runs off leaves.

Young plants and new clones will not like it and will stress badly.

Spray TOP and BOTTOM of leaves.

I lower the lighting level until plants have dried, not sure if that is needed.

Good Luck !!
