Hello all,

I love my relatives. Most of the time. Visiting folks who mean well poured 1/2 gallon of a neem oil solution on the potting mix of my Lime and Meyer Lemon trees. I had prepared the solution for a light soil spritz to combat some pesky fungus gnats. When asked what I was preparing to do I said "put some neem on the citrus". Well meaning visitor poured 50% of the solution on each tree. I do not think it will be a problem but just thought I'd check with you guys and see what you think. Both trees are now inside for the winter.

So, what does everyone think? Take plants outside and flush the potting mix -or- leave plants alone. BTW it is 80% neem concentrate not the 100% pure.

Thanks,

DL
