About Lime Sulfur
Lime sulfur is manufactured by reacting calcium hydroxide with sulfur and is primarily used as fungicides or insecticides. The lime sulfur is formed by boiling in the water a suspension of poorly soluble calcium hydroxide and solid sulfur together with a small amount of surfactant to facilitate the dispersion of these solids in water. For the use of lime sulfur in horticulture, commonly it is a mixture of calcium polysulfide and thiosulfate. However, lime sulfur is widely sold as a spray to control fungi, bacteria, and insects on the surface of the bark. Bonsai enthusiasts use undiluted lime sulfur to bleach, sterilise, and preserve deadwood on bonsai trees while giving an aged look.
