Derived from a native plant with Indian origins, Neem oil is a completely natural extract. Rich in azadirachtin, the oil blocks insects and enhances plant conditions. Treated with Neem oil, a plant loses its appeal to damaging insects and gains protection against various diseases. With direct antibiotic and antifungal actions, Neem oil qualifies as a 100% natural product, making it suitable for organic farming.
Preparing the Neem Oil Mixture:
Creating a suitable substance for orchids involves selecting a pure ingredient certified for plant use from a reputable and certified company. The mixture includes:
- 1 liter of water
- 20ml of pure Neem oil with plant certification
- Juice from half an organic lemon
Application involves using a large cotton pad, soaked in the mixture, to gently dab it onto the orchid leaves. Ensure even coverage to allow the properties to penetrate deeply. Alternatively, the mixture can be sprayed directly onto the leaves and branches for comprehensive protection against potential insect attacks. This treatment can be repeated up to three times a week, providing a complete cycle of nourishment and protection for the orchid.
