Question….. can I put this on a piece of cloth or something small and lay it in the topsoil of the pot instead of spraying it directly on each plant? I’m disabled and it’s difficult to spray that many plants with my hands.

That could work, and you can also make a neem oil mixture to water the plants with that would work too! I’m not sure the ratio of oil to water exactly but you can research about it !

Yes! I put it in my water when I fertilize. It seems to work amazingly well.

Came here to say the same thing - add it to your water and no need to spray/cover.

It would depend on why you're applying it really. If it's for fungus gnat larva, the watering method suggested will work fine. If it's for thrips, spidermites or something of the like, it won't be as effective. I have neuropathy in both my arms/hands. So I use both continuous sprayers as well as electric push button spray bottles. They're a huge help for when i need to apply things to leaves or mist.

I have all three neuropathies: large and small… (sensorimotor polyneuropathy) and autonomic neuropathy. It’s a b!t@h Thanks for the tip on sprayers. I’ll have to tell my husband. He’s usually here to help me but he’s really busy the next couple of weeks and I have those little gnat things flying around. He has those Zevo things for the house but now when I’m watering some of my plants I’m seeing the little gnats fly out of the pot. So, just mix this stuff in my water?

#### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-03-31에 답변했습니다.

Yes. You can mix it with your water. I personally don't use neem for gnats, but have heard it works.

#### Annie님이 2025-04-01에 답변했습니다.

What do you use for gnats?

#### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-04-02에 답변했습니다.

I use either mosquito bit 'tea' or micro biolife drops for ponds
