Neem in the garden: what Ourons sells it for

Posted by

Three neem products go out of our workshop to gardeners, and each does one job.

The leaf wash

A weak mix of neem oil in water, misted or wiped over the leaves of houseplants, conservatory plants and ornamentals in pots to lift dust and leave a natural sheen. We sell it two ways: as a ready-to-use spray, and as a water-soluble concentrate you dilute yourself. Recipe and rates are on the leaf-shine spray page; which plants take it well is on the leaf polish page.

Neem cake

The pressed seed residue, sold as powder and pellets. A slow organic fertiliser for beds, borders, pots and lawns, forked into the soil in spring or autumn. See neem cake powder and neem cake pellets.

Pure neem oil

The cold-pressed oil itself, in 100 ml and 500 ml bottles. In the garden its use is as the ingredient for a home-made leaf wash, with a little of our liquid soap to carry it into water; indoors it goes into soap, candles, balms and wood finishes. See what is neem oil used for?
