This product is supposed to be good for treating fungus gnats and fungus on your indoor plants. You must be careful though, because inhaling this can cause serious lung damage such as lung cancer, so please wear a face mask and gloves. This is actually a powdered fossilised algae, used as a soil conditioner, pesticide and supplement.
The top layer of the plant's soil must be dry otherwise the the diatomaceous earth won't work and you will have to wait a few days until the earth is dry enough to re-do the treatment. Make sure the top earth is completely covered in the powder. The powder is actually sharp or abrasive and cuts into the exoskeleton of insects, and then the powder is absorbed into the insect and they dehydrate and die. This takes between 1 to 3 weeks.
Do your research on any products that you may use, because they can be harmful to yourself, children or pets or they may damage your plants. You might want to use neem oil if you are concerned about the risks, just remember to read up on how to use neem oil and do not use it of ferns, African Violets and a few other plants. Google is your friend for a quick check before you accidentally kill your precious plants.
If you already use this product, Blants are much cheaper than Bunning (sold on marketplace), you can buy this on Amazon Australia too. I have purchased a 3kg bag on Amazon only because I needed it quickly and it was here in 2 days.
Check out Blants other products too, they are very good to buy magnesium from too. Enjoy your pot plants and hopefully you are successful in raising luscious healthy plants that give your home the feeling of tranquility and serenity for many years to come.
