How to use it

Apply Diatomaceous Earth as a fine, dry powder around the intended area. Use light, even coverage rather than heavy clumps, and avoid applying in windy conditions where dust may blow around.

For a natural spray that will dry on your plant's leaves, mix 1 teaspoon of diatomaceous earth with 1 L of water. Spray both the upper and under sides of your leaves. Once the spray has dried, the diatomaceous earth will leave an effective pest barrier.

For potted plants or growing media, apply carefully around the surface area and avoid burying plant crowns or smothering delicate new growth. Reapply only as needed and always follow the directions provided on the product packaging.
