Best Answer

Soap water would have a negative affect on the plant and would probably cause it to die or not sprout because the chemicals in these soaps are harmful to plants, these chemicals are used to kill bacteria and most of these bacteria help in the bulding up of nitrates in the soil, without thes nitrates the plants may die

It depends. If the soap is natural, it is fine, such as ivory liquid soap, or other soaps without perfume or fragrance. Detergent however, will kill it. That's because detergent has chemicals that can kill plants. Also, alcohol will kill a plant, so avoid that.
