Hi Kristin and thanks for your question about using Neem oil as a preventitive on your plants. There is really no reason to use any insecticide on plants unless you see damage and identify the cause. Neem will kill beneficial insects as well as the ones you don't like.
If your plants do get some damage and you want to find out what to do, send us pictures of the damage, the whole plant any similar plant near it and as many close ups as needed and we can often tell you a specific thing that will take care of the problem.
Thanks for checking before you used the Neem!
