You can make a formula to spray on plants to kill bugs using dish soap. DO NOT use Dawn or soap with degreaser in it.
Formula: 1 tea. dish soap, 1 tea. cooking oil (canola) couple of shots of hot sauce, 1 gallon of water. I spray this on plants that get rid spittle bugs(that white foamy stuff). This works on a lot of garden pest. jjs wpb, fl
I use it for pretreating grase stains on clothes, cuz Dawn cuts grease. It works real well, too. I don't know about plants though.
I also wash arms and hands well with Dawn after exposure to Poison Ivy or Poison Oak. It works really well to prevent rashes from them
My plant hint involving detergent is based on the use of Palmolive green original dish washing liquid.I have used it for years for my ficus trees....And it is amazing!
I have another hint that, when used on ficus trees , in conjunction with the Palmolive, makes them thicken and re-leaf like mad. Let me know if anyone is interested.
