RhondaI have a bad history with succulents so no advice there. But I do like the ingredient list. I would be more likely to try it. But maybe someone else has more experience with this and succulents.

mnastybeatzI would stay away from any sprays like this on your plants, Neem oil mixed in water and a couple drops of dawn dish soap work wonders for pests.

what’s the ratio of neem oil, water, and dish soap? i’ve heard too much neem oil could be harmful if it’s not diluted properly

I do 1 tablespoon of raw, pure or cold pressed neem oil to 2 teaspoons of dawn dish soap into one gallon of distilled water and mix/shake for about two minutes. I also just keep the mixture in the jug for no more than 3 months for future use. Never had an issue but I would do it outside in a shaded area bc it’s really stinky and i’ll let the plants dry and bring them inside

Penny LI have used a similar fungicide/pesticide product on both regular plants and succulents with great results. I treated them all outside and let them air out for 90 minutes before bringing them back inside, and I treated them once a week for three weeks. Worked like a charm. Mine wasn’t organic, though.
