Title: BioNeem
Post by: topshelf12 on May 08, 2012, 07:24:49 PM
  Hi All,
I was getting ready to spray my hibs with Safer bioneem.  It said do not use on hibiscus because they are sensitive. Do they mean the flower or the plant.  I thought I used this once in the fall with no problems but I cant remember
thanks
Norm

Norm, this question comes up every time someone actually reads the directions that come with this product. What they mean is that the petals of open flowers can be affected by the spray. There is no danger to the plant itself as long as the label rates are used. Since hibiscus flowers close up and fall off within 1-3 days anyway it doesn't really mean much if an open one is discolored by the spray.
