This will do the trick and don't worry about PH as mentioned above. You only need a couple drops of liquid dish soap to a quart spray bottle. Spray plenty on the plant. This will do a number to the critters. Red

I also do this to all my plants that come indoors for the winter to clean them and kill any bug hanging out.
