Is it okay to put dish soap on my succulents? Because, dish soap is really effective to kills bugs and stuff :)

i fill up a spray bottle and put just a generous drop of dish soap in it, shake it up and wipe down the leaves with that. i don’t have exact measurements but you don’t wanna use too much soap or it will create a visible film on the leaves :) castile soap is great too

I have many succulents. I have never tried that and never will. Have you researched it? I don’t use neem oil either because it has damaged some of my important echeverias. I use insecticidal soap. It is not dish soap.
