Why Is My Potting Mix Still Wet Days After Watering?
It's one of the most common things people notice, and one of the most misread: you watered days ago, but the potting mix still feels cold, heavy and damp.
Our neem is not registered with the APVMA and therefore we cannot promote it as a pesticide. The active ingredient is Azadirachtin - google it.
One of the great things about Neem Oil is that it is non-comodegenic and therefore it will not clog your plant's pores, unlike other oils on the market.
It's an all-natural, organic product and is safe to use around pets and children when used as directed. As with any plant-care product, keep it out of reach and don't ingest it.
Unlike other neem blends, the active ingredients in our Neem Oil remain active for 12 months after purchasing.
There's no set schedule — wipe leaves down every few weeks, or whenever they're looking dull and dusty. Clean them when they need it, not by the calendar.
It's a foliage cleaner and natural leaf shine. A regular wipe lifts the household dust that settles on indoor leaves and dulls them — clearing it brings back the natural gloss and lets the leaf absorb light properly. Think of it as the indoor stand-in for the wind and rain that keep outdoor plants clean.
Avoid wiping hairy (pubescent) leaves — African Violets and some Begonias are the usual ones — because the texture doesn't suit a wipe-down. For anything delicate or unfamiliar, do a quick patch test on one leaf first.
Best not to. Applying neem to leaves in direct sun can mark them. If your plant sits in direct light during the day, wipe it down in the evening instead.
This is the ready-to-use 245ml spray bottle. The 1L refill is the top-up — pour it into your existing spray bottle (or dab straight onto your cloth) once you've run the first one down. Same oil, less packaging, better value per ml.

Neem trees, scientifically known as Azadirachta indica, predominantly grow in tropical and semi-tropical regions, with India being the primary source. It's a resilient tree, capable of thriving in less fertile soils and demanding weather conditions. The neem tree's leaves, seeds, and bark can all be utilised, but it's the seeds that yield the highest concentration of oil.
