Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly natural ingredients
  • Promotes plant health with seaweed extract
  • Highly concentrated for cost-effective use
  • Safe for use on both indoor and outdoor plants

Cons

  • Cannot be used on very young or fragile plants
  • Risk of leaf scorch if applied in bright sun
  • Requires manual mixing of concentrate
  • Must be applied directly to the insects to be effective

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare the solution, mix 25ml of the concentrate with 225ml of water in a standard clean spray bottle. Always shake the mixture gently before application to ensure the oils and seaweed extract are properly emulsified. Store the concentrate in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain the potency of the natural ingredients. Because the product works via physical contact, ensure that your spray equipment provides a fine mist that covers the plant evenly. Clean your spray bottle nozzle after each use to prevent residue buildup from the soaps.
