{"title":"Pest and Disease Care","description":"\u003cp\u003ePlant care starts with plant health: a well fed, well watered plant in decent soil copes with far more than a stressed one. This range is built around Plant Doctor Neem Plant Spray, made from certified organic, cold-pressed neem seed oil and supplied as a natural plant spray to support plant health, flowering and growth. The only real decision is the format: a concentrate you dilute yourself, or a pre-mixed bottle that is ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eConcentrate or ready to use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concentrate is 85% neem seed oil with 15% organic wetting agent. Oil and water do not mix on their own, so the wetting agent is already in the bottle and the oil disperses when it is diluted. It comes in 250ml, 1L and 4L sizes and suits anyone with a hedge, an orchard or a full garden to cover. The 750ml ready-to-use bottle is pre-mixed, which makes more sense for a courtyard or a few pots, where mixing a batch would be wasteful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold pressing matters because it retains the vitamins, proteins and trace elements naturally present in the neem seed.
