Dish soap

[spikef35]

One quick question,as pesticide I use a mix of dishsoap and water and I was chasing down a wasp earlier today and got some in my opuntias soil. Is there anything bad that can be caused by it,it's the scented type.

If its safe enough to spray on your plants, its safe enough to go in the soil. Soaps vary, but all have the potential for scorching if they are too concentrated or the plant gets strong sun. Soft soaps such as hand soaps are some of the safest, while detergents (like your dish soap?) are some of the worst.

Seems it might be fine it was mixed with water and shot out of a spray nozzle .
