Hi Bree, Yes pot and all. It doesn't kill on contact but affects the insects metabolism and they die in several days because they can't eat. It really just seems to keep mealys under control, I've never totally eradicated them. Neem doesn't do anything to the eggs the insects have laid in the media, thats why you need to use it again after a week or so. I've sprayed it on buds also and the only buds that didn't make it were on Paph. delenatii. I never could decide if the Neem(I was rather heavy handed) or the mealys did the buds in.
