Neem thickened up

16 years ago

Got Neem just over a week ago and stored in cellar after one use. Went to do another application today and it went from a liquid to a thickened sludge, is this because it was in a very cool cellar and will it thin out stored in room temp. I sure hope so it wasn't cheap.

If it was Dyna-Gro's product, you only need to warm it in the microwave or in warm water and it will turn back to liquid. It acts like butter or margarine in that regard.

I have straight neem oil, and I've had it almost a year. It tends to be thick.
