Be careful with this new product

18 years ago

I was looking for some sticky strips for the white flies I have on some of my plants in the green house.

The lady at the nursery recommended a new product.It is by Green Light called Bioganic. It's main ingredients are oil of Thyme, Clove & Sesame. It also has some water, soybean & wintergreen oils,& lecithin as minors.

I sprayed my Rypara, Chiapensis, Buchananii and Pineapple sage and Discolor - all with different types of foliage. Well all sustained leaf burn. I checked them a couple of hours after spraying and we did not have any sun that day. I was sooo bummed. Luckily there is time for new growth.

That's too bad, Phoebe! It looks like they might have a money-back guarantee, as well, so that's somewhat of a consolation.

Thanks for the info.

Lesson learned: Fuzzy-leaved plants are typically damaged by oil sprays.
