I have used Safers Insecticidal soap at the strength recommended for fruits
and vegetables. And now that I buy it in concentrated form, I dilute it
slightly more, perhaps 75% of the strength recommended for use in the
kitchen garden. I've never caused any damage to the foliage of Sarracenia of
VFT's. But I also then rinse out the soil.
