2. Pest Control:

For severe pest problems, mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil in 1 liter of water and apply every 3 days during the morning or evening. For ongoing protection, reapply every 7 to 10 days.

3. Watering:

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells.

⚠️ Safety Precautions: When handling fertilizers or neem oil, wear gloves and a mask. Avoid applying products during peak sunlight to prevent leaf burn and protect your skin.
