Hobby products Plant care and protection Neem Oil
100% plant-based neem oil, cold-pressed, ready-to-use spray.
Neem Oil Leader is a natural plant tonic, 100% plant-based, obtained by cold mechanical pressing of neem fruits. It is a ready-to-use spray: apply it to plants to protect foliage and shoots, or to the growing medium to rebalance the substrate microflora.
Features
Rich in essential aromatic fatty acids, it is formulated as a ready-to-use spray with no propellant gas. Neem oil is traditionally used for preventive and revitalising treatments where infestations and disease pressure are present.
Applied to plants, it strengthens and protects them by working on foliage and shoots. Applied to the growing medium, it helps rebalance the substrate microflora. Neem Oil Leader is a natural plant tonic, not a registered plant protection product: it works by strengthening natural defences and supporting resilience, not as a registered treatment against any specific disease or pest.
It is suitable for use in home vegetable gardens, potted plants, and outdoor gardens, for growers who prefer a natural approach to plant care.
Why choose it
- 100% plant-based, cold-pressed: no synthetic additives, no propellant gas in the spray bottle.
- Ready to use: no dilution, no mixing — open the trigger and spray.
- Dual integrated use: applied to leaves it strengthens healthy and resilient foliage; applied to the growing medium it restores the microflora — one product for complete treatment cycles.
- Suitable for preventive and revitalising treatments.
- When used correctly, it is not harmful to animals.
How to use it
- Shake the bottle well before each use.
- Spray evenly over the foliage, paying particular attention to the underside of leaves.
- For soil application: spray onto the surface around the plant and water the substrate.
- Repeat every 7–10 days as a preventive treatment, or every 3–5 days if an infestation is already present.
- Apply preferably in the evening or when temperatures are lower — never in direct sunlight.
FAQs
Is Neem Oil effective against all insects?
Neem Oil Leader is a natural plant tonic that strengthens the plant and creates an unfavourable environment for a wide range of soft-bodied insects (aphids, scale insects, spider mites, whitefly). It is not registered as a plant protection product: it works by building resilience, not as a registered treatment against any specific disease or pest.
Can I use it on vegetable crops during fruiting?
Yes. Neem Oil Leader is permitted in organic farming and leaves no synthetic residues. Apply early morning or late evening, when temperatures are lower, to avoid leaf scorch. Wait at least 48 hours before harvesting fruit.
Is it safe for bees?
Neem oil has low toxicity to adult bees when applied outside active flowering periods. Apply in the evening, when bees are less active, and never onto open flowers. Our label does not claim specific bee safety, because only registered plant protection products are permitted to make that claim.
