Hi, Wilfred!!!
I believe you mean soap, not soup. Wash dishes with soap, eat chicken noodle soup. No problem! Either way, I wash plants an hour after I do anything like that to the leaves. Just a plain water spray.
And you cannot tell me that mealy bugs don't fall out of the sky! No ants, but here come the mealies sometimes.
I'll go put some cinnimon on a fire ant hill and see them! haha, can't wait!
This white flower is from a plant you sent me so long ago...
