Neem oil and lemon myrtle, formulated to work on leaves at both a topical and a cellular level rather than just sitting on the surface. Use it fortnightly as prevention, or every few days when something has gone wrong and a plant is visibly struggling. The fine mist gives even coverage with less waste, which matters when you are treating the underside of every leaf.
Key Features
- Certified organic. By Southern Cross Certified.
- The formula. Neem oil amplified with lemon myrtle and a microbial base.
- Fine mist. Even coverage on both sides of the leaf.
- Two sizes. A 250ml ready-to-use spray bottle, or a 1.25L refill pouch for any spray bottle.
- No synthetic pesticides. Nothing that fogs the room.
Pūrē Standard
- Certified organic, by a named certifier. Southern Cross Certified. In plant protection, where "natural" is used very loosely, third-party certification is the claim that counts.
- Neem rather than a synthetic pesticide. Neem works slowly and by disrupting pests rather than by knockdown, which is why it suits an indoor plant you live alongside. Nothing here fogs your living room.
- A refill pouch that fits any spray bottle. The 1.25L is not tied to their own bottle, so you can keep whatever sprayer you already own. Four times the volume, a fraction of the packaging.
- Not for every plant, and not for pets to walk through. It is for smooth-leaved plants only, and it contains lemon myrtle and eucalyptus essential oils. Keep pets away from treated foliage until it is completely dry, and store it out of reach.
- Where we would like more. We The Wild openly describe the formula as neem, lemon myrtle "and a few secret ingredients", so this is not a fully disclosed product. That is honest of them, but it is not full transparency and we have scored it accordingly.

How to Use
- Only on smooth-leaved plants. We The Wild advise against furry or fuzzy-leaved plants. Patch test a single leaf first.
- Timing. Use in the morning or afternoon, out of direct sunlight, and never on a plant in heat stress.
- Prevention. Shake well, then gently mist the top and underside of the leaves in a ventilated area, fortnightly.
- When leaves are struggling. Do the same but also cover the stem and the top of the soil, and repeat every 2 to 4 days.
- Afterwards. Wipe the leaves to lift dust.
- Pets. Keep them away from treated plants until the foliage is fully dry.
- Storage. Store upright, out of direct sunlight, and do not let it freeze. Do not ingest or inhale. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Our Take
Neem works slowly and by disruption rather than knockdown, which is exactly what you want in a room you live in. Smooth-leaved plants only, and let the foliage dry before the cat rubs against it.

Frequently asked
What plants can I use it on?
Smooth-leaved houseplants, potted herbs and ornamentals. We The Wild specifically advise against furry or fuzzy-leaved plants, so no African violets. Patch test a single leaf first, and never spray a plant in heat stress or direct sunlight.
How often should I use it?
Fortnightly as prevention: mist the top and underside of the leaves in a ventilated area. If leaves are already struggling, also cover the stem and top of the soil, and repeat every 2 to 4 days.
Is it safe around pets?
Use care. We The Wild have their range verified by the Animal Poisons Centre, but this formula contains lemon myrtle and eucalyptus essential oils, and the brand's own advice is to keep it out of reach of pets and children. Keep animals away from treated foliage until it is completely dry.
What is in it?
