Product FAQ's

WHAT IS IT?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is a blend of hydrophobic clarified neem oil extract with olive oil and lavender essential oil. Hydrophobic clarified neem oil extract is a derivative of neem, a substance obtained from the seeds of the Azadirachta indica tree. This oil is a product of treating neem with alcohol to extract azadirachtin. These two substances have different characteristics and properties.

WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is also a natural fungicide and repellent. It eliminates insects such as aphids, whiteflies, mites, mealybugs, and thrips, some of the most common pests of house plants. This mixture of neem oil also eliminates fungus and controls its proliferation. Its repellent properties help protect plants from further pest attacks.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is a dark brown oily product. Its natural character can lead to slight variations in appearance and consistency between different batches. This in no way compromises its effectiveness.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants acts as a contact insecticide against soft-bodied insects, including the main pests of house plants (aphids, whiteflies, mites, mealybugs, and thrips).

This means that the LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants has to come into contact with the insects to interfere with their respiratory mechanism and cause their death by asphyxiation. It is also effective in controlling fungi by interfering with mycelial growth.

Although it has been used for centuries for its insecticidal, fungicidal, and repellent properties, the mode of action of the clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil is still not completely understood due to the complexity of its composition.

The olive oil in the mixture aims to assist in pourability. Lavender oil makes its scent more pleasant.

HOW SHOULD I APPLY IT?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants must be applied in diluted form. Use a sprayer to apply the diluted product directly to visible insects and fungi on the plant. Inspect stems, leaf bases, and the inside of young shoots. Ensure good coverage of all visible insects and fungi.

Leave the LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants to work for no more than 2 hours and remove excess product, insects, fungi, and other residues with a clean cloth or kitchen paper. A soft toothbrush can be used to reach more difficult-to-reach areas.

In plants with small and abundant leaves or plants that are very attacked, a shower can be used for a quicker and more efficient washing of the plant with lukewarm water. Do not use the same cloth or paper on different plants to avoid the passage of insects between plants.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE ITS DILUTION IN WATER?

Shake the LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants.
Warm the product slightly between hands to regain the necessary pourability for dosing by dropper. When exposed to low temperatures, LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants can become soft butter. It may be required to resort to a short soak in warm water.
Add one drop of liquid soap, like our LEAF CLEANSER, to the water to ensure that the oil is distributed in the water (the formation of an emulsion). Apply using a sprayer.

Discard the prepared emulsion after 48 hours.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED DOSE?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants must be used diluted in water, in a proportion of 0.5 ml of product for every 100 ml of water (0.5%). Dilute five drops from the drip bottle for every 100 ml of water. This oily mixture is not diluted directly with water, so add a drop of liquid soap to allow an emulsion to form.

HOW FREQUENTLY SHOULD I APPLY IT?

LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants should be used when insects or fungi are detected on the plant.

Insects and fungi control: weekly until insects and fungi are eliminated. It can be used preventively after treatment to prevent a recurrence.

Preventively: Monthly during the six months following pest control.

When an infected plant is detected, it must be immediately isolated from the other plants and placed in quarantine, guaranteeing the best conditions for its light and temperature needs. It is recommended to preventively treat the plants present in the vicinity of the affected plant.

WHAT IS ITS YIELD?

Each bottle of LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants, when used as recommended, can prepare 10 liters of treatment emulsion.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW BEFORE USING IT?

Spraying should preferably be carried out in the morning or at the end of the afternoon, outside the hours of strong sunlight.

Avoid applications on days with temperatures above 28ºC to avoid the risk of phytotoxicity due to product concentration.

Despite the natural character of LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants, some plants may be sensitive to its application, namely if the plant is fragile or subject to unfavorable environmental conditions.

Do not use on plants under water stress due to dryness. Replenish the plant with moisture before using the product.

Do not use on plants under water stress due to waterlogging. Recover the plant before using the product.

Do not use it on plants with hairy leaves whose surface is covered with trichomes (hair-like).

If in doubt, carry out a tolerance test on the product. Apply as recommended on a leaf and wait 48h to ensure the absence of an adverse reaction.

Removing excess product together with dirt residues, as recommended, significantly reduces the risk of an eventual adverse reaction from the plant.

Some cacti and succulents are reported to be intolerant of neem oil. Do not use these plants.

DOES IT PRESENT RISKS TO PEOPLE OR ANIMALS?

When used according to the recommendations, LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants does not pose any risks to the health of people and animals.

Keep out of reach of children and animals to avoid unintended ingestion.

In case of ingestion, contact the doctor. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse with clean water for 15 minutes.

DOES IT PRESENT A RISK TO THE ENVIRONMENT?

Due to its selective action, LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is not harmful to beneficial insects such as ladybugs. Its harmful effect is only felt on soft-bodied insects, including the main pests of house plants, such as aphids, whiteflies, mites, mealybugs, and thrips.

As it is a natural organic product of vegetable origin, LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants is a rapidly biodegradable product. Its degradation gives rise to products that do not pose environmental risks.

However, the product should not be applied to flowers likely visited by bees during the 72 hours following its application, nor should it be discarded in natural watercourses.

HOW SHOULD I STORE IT?

Keep LEAF PROTECTOR natural insecticide for plants in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight.
