She's young enough and has enough leaves left on her, she'll grow out of it... the problem was NOT in the potency of the neem oil - you probably sprayed during the day in the sunlight and that's a bit of a no-no... you spray at dusk... But she should be just fine... I wouldn't worry. Good luck

Why do my plants only have that light greenish yellowish look at the top and why is one of my plants also having those sick leaves at the bottom?2 of my 3 plants are a bit yellow-ish at the top since about a week. Plant 1 also had a couple of sick leaves at the bottom that I did remove. Those leaves had brown/dark spots, felt dry like paper, had very purple stems and did smell more like hay.
