Essential Oils are great when applied directly to plants, but the key is this: remember to dilute quite heavily.

They can be effective for dealing with strengthening the immune function of plants or as a “companion.” Many are familiar with planting basil and tomatoes side by side; did you know that spraying Basil Essential Oil around and on the tomato plant can improve the health, nutrition, and taste of tomatoes in much the same way?
