This morning it was cool and cloudy, so I thought it would be a good day to get a head start on pest/mildew prevention. After watering at the stump with fish/seaweed mix, I sprayed Bon-Neem concentrate mixed according to the directions on the leaf tops and undersides. According to the label the stuff has Pyrethrins 0.25%, Piperyonl Butoxide 2.50%, Clarified Hydrophobic Extract of Neem Oil 70.0% in it. I sprayed at 7:45 AM. Now at 11 it is 65 and cloudy. By 5 PM it will be 78 and party cloudy. Should I be worried about any burn on the leaves from the neem oil?

Neem is tricky I only sprayed it at dusk, and about 50% of recommended

After a few days I only notice one small spot in the leaf funnel where the leaf turned a little yellow. My guess is the oil collected there. I tried to only put a light mist on the plant, but I must have gotten a little heavy there. Thank you (Linus) for the reply!
