Neem Oil For Plants

Rated 4.8 out of 5
Based on 12 reviews

Neem oil for plants is made from the seeds of the Neem tree, which is a plant that's native to India. It has a long history of being one of the best natural insecticides available due to the way it smells and how it interacts with the hormones in many insects. 

While it's not the most elegant fragrance, Neem oil’s combination of garlic and sulfur fragrances deters insects, and its earthy, nutty tones blend beautifully with the natural fragrance of many gardens.

You'll find that Neem oil's best use is keeping your garden free of insects. Simply pour the spray into a bottle and spray both sides of your plants for the best results.

Ready to Use

Our ready-to-use Neem oil for plants is safe to spray in your garden (when mixed with water and an emulsifier) or apply directly onto your skin for aromatherapy and cosmetic purposes.

What Our Customers Think

"So far so good! The smell is definitely better than most other neem oils and my plants look well. The seller was very communicative and helpful! I will buy again." - Lynn Coto 03/01/22
"In the beginning I was mixing neem oil with olive oil and found it too rich and greasy, it just wasn't for me. But my bottle was still almost full and I tried other carrier oils, in the end I found that avocado oil was the best carrier and I'm now doing my second neem oil order already." - Briony 03/17/22
"If you're into camping and hiking, I really recommend mixing some neem oil in your sunscreen. Not a single bug will dare approach, it's fantastic." - Stacey 07/23/21

Frequently Asked Questions About Neem Oil for Plants

Are you still curious about how to best use neem oil for plants? We answer common questions below.

Is Neem Oil Good for Plants?

Yes, Neem oil is good for plants. It functions as a natural pesticide to keep your plants safe from mites, beetles, and other pests.

Is Neem Oil Safe for Plants?

Neem oil is safe to use on many plants; however, it should not be used on peppers, thyme, oregano, cilantro, parsley, or dill. While these are the most notable plants to avoid spraying with Neem oil, it's not an exhaustive list, so always check your plants before you spray.

Be careful when spraying Neem oil on plants you plan on eating -- be sure to wash the oil off thoroughly before consumption.

What Bugs Does Neem Oil Deter?

Neem oil prevents a lot of bugs. However, the most common bugs that it prevents include mites, beetles, aphids, whiteflies, and Mealybugs. You can also test it out in some areas of your garden to see if it's deterring the bugs you need it to.

Is Neem Oil Safe for Tomato Plants?

Neem oil is generally safe for tomato plants when properly diluted. Always apply during cooler hours and spot test before broad application. Avoid oversaturating flowers or fruits to reduce the chance of residue buildup. And, of course, be sure to thoroughly wash Neem oil off your tomatoes before eating them.

Can Neem Oil Prevent Fungus in Plants?

Neem oil is commonly used in plant care routines to support clean, well-maintained foliage. While not a registered fungicide, it’s often part of a natural gardening approach for surface care and overall plant appearance.

Will Neem Oil Harm Ladybugs or Bees?

Neem oil for plants is not known to harm beneficial insects like bees or ladybugs when used correctly. Avoid spraying directly on flowers or during peak pollinator hours to help protect friendly garden visitors.

Can I Use Neem Oil on Seedlings?
