Neem Powder

Can I put neem powder in my houseplants’ soil? I have food grade powdered neem, and I’d like to add it to my houseplants and outdoor container veggies. My houseplants are prone to fungus whenever I water them. They have drainage… #HousePlants #Neem #PlantTherapy

hello! neem is mostly used for pest issues rather than fungus. a light sprinkle of cinnamon might work better in this case (not too much, don’t want to mess up the soil). btw depending on the type of plant you have it might also be a sign your soil is too moisture retentive!

@strawberrymoon I just repotted my spider plant that arrived and started browning.

@laterisers I don’t have gnats, I just get fungus every time I water any plant. Some plants were mailed to me, some I bought in person, band some are succulents. But any time I water any plant, I get a white fuzzy fungusya on it us

@laterisers I have started bottom watering, but even then, the soil stays wet for a long time. Each pot has drainage holes
