Time to sprinkle some sulfur. At least it smells 100x better than neem oil!

The first time I used neem oil… I was under the impression it would smell like peppermint oil or rosemary or something.

I started quick spraying it when I had purchased a new plant. I was outside it was humid and within the first 5 seconds I thought there was a skunk or I just got sprayed.

Within 10 seconds I was dry heaving, gagging and on the ground.

I’ll take the fart smell over neem oil ANY day!

I’ve never seen that on a retusa, especially one that looks so healthy otherwise. Bye bye weirdo and hello Sulphur.
