Just a question, is it safe to add NEEM OIL to water when I’m bottom watering plants?

I spray my plants with neem oil as recommended, but I have a few plants with a rust infection and I don’t think spraying them is cutting it.

Thoughts? Recommendations?

I’m 95% sure it’s okay to clean the roots with them as long as you wash it off or you could use a specific treatment for infections , I prefer to go in and clean the roots , but it’s easier To just get the treatment :)

If it's rust I'd get an better fungicide than neem.

Came here to say this. Neem isn’t going to treat a fungal infection. You’re better off repotting and treating with hydrogen peroxide at least, if not an antifungal

Do you have any recommendations on what to use instead? 😬

I use growsafe. There's also copper fungicide. Or if you have it on hand, like eatyacarbs said, you can use a 1:3 solution of peroxide
