Add 1/4 tsp insect soap to 2 tsp of neem oil in a quart spray bottle. Neem oil will separate in water. The soap keeps it well emulsified, both safe for humans and pets. Both natural. And Both avail on Amazon

Wrote the amounts on my sprayer. Just remember never spray on hot days in bright sun it can sunburn your plant. Evenings or cloudy days.
