 What is Plant Runner Neem Oil Leaf Shine? 

The health spa treatment for your plants! 

Much more than just a leaf shine. Plant Runner Neem Oil Leaf Shine is an organic blend of beneficial nutrients that improve photosynthesis, boost plant health AND clean leaves, all with a natural, protective shine that won't block your plant's pores, essential for plants to 'breathe'! 

"Got gifted my first bottle, took me a while to get round to use it but once I did the difference in the shine on the leaves was amazing! I am now on my second bottle and it is now something I always have to have in my collection."

 Why is Plant Runner different from other leaf shine products? 

🪴 WON'T BLOCK PLANTS FROM 'BREATHING'

Unlike most other leaf shine products, Plant Runner's Neem Oil Leaf Shine is non-comedogenic. A fancy way of saying it won't block your plant's pores (called stomata), which plants need to take in carbon dioxide and 'breathe out' oxygen and water vapour. 

🪴 KEEPS WATER MOVING

Some leaf shine products say they 'reduce water loss' as if it's a good thing! But leaves need to 'breathe' and that includes water. Their stomata don't just put out oxygen, they also release water vapour. 

Reducing water loss is NOT a benefit if you're a plant. Plant Runner Neem Oil Leaf Shine will not block leaves from releasing oxygen or water vapour. That keeps water flowing, reduces wilting, reduces the risk of root rot, and improves nutrient transport.

🪴 BOOSTS HEALTH

Plant Runner's leaf shine is about more than just good looks. It's a naturally rich source of organic sulphur, proteins and trace elements for a little pick-me-up health boost, like a spa treatment for your houseplants! They don't just look good, they feel better too.

🪴 DOUBLE GROWTH BOOST

More than just cleaning and shining leaves, Plant Runner Neem Oil Leaf Shine also naturally boosts photosynthesis in two ways to support growth. 

Organic sulphur is a critical part of photosynthesis, helping plants convert sunlight into energy to boost growth. Plus cleaner, dust-free foliage means leaves can do their job as solar panels for your plants, like cleaning your windows lets more light in.

🪴 SAFE & GENTLE

Plus it's safe to use around pets and children and won’t harm beneficial insects like bees, butterflies and ladybugs.

🪴 NATURAL SHINE

Plant Runner's leaf shine leaves behind a healthy, natural shine, NOT an artificial gloss that makes plants look fake! That glossy shine is a sign the product is coating the leaf (and blocking plant's pores). Stay away from the fake, high-gloss leaf shine products.

🪴 STAYS FRESH MUCH LONGER

Most neem oil has a shelf-life of around 4 days once mixed. Usually, you mix neem oil with water, which has to be used up in 1-4 days, meaning mixing small quantities every time and wasting what you don't use up. 

Plant Runner's Neem OIl Leaf Shine is different. The plant-based oil blend base extends the shelf life to 18 months. The natural oils also act as a wetting agent, which both prevents the usual complaint with Neem of the mister nozzle blocking up, and also extends the potency of the Neem on the plant after spraying - all without the need for synthetic preservatives. And without leftovers going to waste.

 Directions: How to apply neem oil to plants 

Give your bottle a good shake then just spray and wipe! Unlike others, Plant Runner Neem Oil Leaf Shine is pre-mixed and ready to use straight from the bottle, trigger spray top included.

Whether you spray the leaves directly then wipe - or spray onto a cloth or gloves then wipe leaves - depends on the plant's leaf type...

For smoother or thicker leaves: Spray leaves directly, then wipe off with a soft cloth (I like those fine microfibre cloths or microfibre dusting gloves like the recycled Leaf Love Gloves). 

For delicate or sensitive, thinner leaves: spray on a cloth, gloves or cotton pad first, then wipe the leaves. For oil-sensitive plants, wipe or rinse off afterwards with a different cloth dampened with plain water. 

"This is so good for when I’m cleaning the leaves of my plant or when I receive a new plant. The added Neem oil is just a great & easy way to help add protection from any unwanted guests that decide they would like to visit. Highly recommend."

 Not for the fuzzies 

Neem products in general are not for use on all plants. Don't use Neem on plants with hairy or furry leaves, like African Violets. Neem also shouldn't be used used when leaves will be in direct sunlight. I use it for all my smooth-leaf dust magnets. Monstera, Peace Lily, Pothos, Philodendron, Ficus, ZZ, Fiddle Leaf Fig (the list goes on!). 

 How often can you apply neem oil? 

You can reapply after 7 days if needed. I do the rounds about once a month for my jungle. A happy medium for most houseplant hobbyists is once a fortnight.

 Where is the Neem in Plant Runner sourced from? 

Neem oil is a by-product from the Neem tree (Azadirachta indica), a native tree to the Indian subcontinent (India, Nepalm Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives).

The Neem that Plant Runner uses is 100% certified organic Australian Neem, grown in Queensland, cold pressed to retain all its proteins, vitamins and trace elements.
