Neem Dust is not just an effective organic fertilizer, but it can also be used weekly as a pesticide and fungicide! It can control certain parasitic fungi and spurs the growth of combative fungi. With its systemic resistance, it prevents other diseases such as root rot, blight, and wilt.
Diatomaceous earth powder (DE Powder) is made of crushed mineral stones that will act as a barbed fence to protect your plants from crawling pests on a microscopic level. It steers them away because the powder is highly dehydrating for them. As a plus, once your leaves are coated with the DE powder, it will help your plant readily absorb more nutrients, especially when mixed with neem oil spray.
100% Organic Neem Oil is an effective leaf cleaner and an excellent solution for insects, mites, or fungi bothering your plants! This is because its active properties interfere with pests' normal life cycle, which includes feeding, molting, mating, and egg-laying. Just remember to avoid applying it when your plant is underneath direct sunlight!
