I use this one, it doesn’t do great to stop an issue, but it’s a good preventative and cleaner. It’s more of a repellent than contact killer

Thank you, I have some. I was inquiring how each of you use yours 🪴🪴🪴

I spray it and leave it on until it dries, then come back by with a damp paper towel (the ones that feel like fabric not normal ones) and wipe it off

I follow a girl on instagram that makes her own spray, she calls it sexy plant juice spray! I have been using it on my plants for a few months and seems to be working well!

\* 2 cups water  
\* 2 tablespoons neem oil  
\* 1 tablespoon peppermint castille soap  
\* 1 teaspoon alcohol

One is never too old too learn.  
I have no pests, I came across Neem oil as I was searching for a leaf shine/cleaner, then fell into a rabbit hole of Neem oil, lol.
