Plants suddenly turning yellow, wilting from the base, or dying after transplant? Your soil might be under attack from root grubs, nematodes, or fungal infections — common problems in reused potting soil and poorly draining containers.
Neem Cake Fertilizer tackles these hidden threats naturally. Made from cold-pressed neem seeds, it breaks pest cycles in the root zone and enriches the soil with nitrogen and phosphorus. A reliable organic solution for kitchen gardeners using pots, kiyaris, or small beds.

FAQs
1. What kind of pests does neem cake actually help with?
Neem cake targets soil-borne threats like nematodes, root grubs, and damping-off fungi. It won’t stop leaf-eating insects but is excellent for underground pest control.
2. Is neem cake enough for soil health, or should I add something else?
It improves microbial life and organic matter, but pairing with compost or vermicompost gives better results — especially in tired or sandy soil.
3. How should I store neem cake to keep it effective?
Keep it in an airtight container in a dry, shaded place. Exposure to moisture or direct sun reduces its potency.
4. Can I apply it during hot weather or monsoon?
Yes — apply early morning or evening. During monsoon, mix it into soil before heavy rains to avoid runoff.
5. Why does neem cake sometimes clump in pots?
If mixed too dry or unevenly watered, it can harden. Always blend well with existing soil and water lightly afterward.
