hey all.. well mrberrys is back after a few weeks break..
a big merry christmas to all:D.. i come with a small question..
i thought i saw mabe a thrip on 1 of my plants lastnite.. so i quickly made a dash for my neem oil.. it says use 20ml per litre.. i used 1/4 of a litre water and 4ml of neem oil.. i started sprayin just b4 lights out .. as i was spraying them the lights went out.. silly me didnt check the time bein so busy with repotting and rapping xmas presents.. i managed to spray the top side of the leaves on all plants.. but not the underside.. my question is should i spray the underside of the leaves tonight? or wait a week or so like the bottle states. allso the bottle says to use the mixed solution in 6 hours.. is it ok if i do spray the undersides tonight and use the left over from lastnight?

Don't forget the dish soap. You should always add dish soap to your neem oil/water mix. It prevents beading (on the leaves) and also makes the oil mix with water better since its an emulsifier. But yah, I'm sure you'll be fine using it a day later. I always hated that about neem, having to use it all right away.
