A common ratio for making a soap spray for outdoor plants is 1-2 tablespoons of liquid soap per gallon of water. However, it's important to follow specific instructions on the soap product you are using as concentrations may vary. Overuse of soap can harm plants, so it's best to start with a lower concentration and test on a small area of the plant first.

Green soap is typically diluted at a ratio of 1 part green soap to 9 parts water for general use in medical and tattooing applications. However, the dilution ratio may vary depending on the specific application and concentration of the green soap solution required.
Plants with natural saponins, such as soapwort, yucca, and soapbark, can be used to make soap. These plants contain compounds that create a lather when mixed with water, making them suitable for soap-making processes.
The number of hand washes per gallon of soap is based on the dispensing method. If a soap dispenser is used the amount dispensed per push is divided into the total amount of soap (I gallon or 128 ounces) for the number of hand washes. If no dispenser is used it can range from 1 on up depending on the amount of soap used for each hand wash.
Continued use of soapy water strips the protective cuticle off of plant leaves - this can result in the leaves burning. The occasional use of soapy water to kill small insects such as aphids, scale and mealy bug is okay - as long as you don't do it too frequently. The long term effects of soapy water on the soil are not good, this causes a layer to build up on the soil and also effects osmosis in the soil - which can cause plants to deteriorate and die
It's a 1:1 ratio. The amount of the soap and the water depends upon the potency and speed of application. But it's a 1:1 ratio, be it one tablespoon of soap to one cup, quart, or gallon of water.

One tablespoon (14.79 milliliters) to one gallon (3.79 liters) is a ratio of soap to water when spraying plants for bugs. Too strong of a spray may harm non-target animals and plant surfaces. Soapy water takes the store-bought form of insecticidal soaps.

you need very little soap, s few drops in a liter of water are enough

One tablespoon (14.79 milliliters) of soap to one gallon (3.79 liters) of water is the ratio of soap to water to spray lupines for aphids. A little bit will be effective since home-made and store-bought insecticidal soaps kill insect pests by the equivalent of drowning and suffocation. A large amount of soap will not have the environmental impact of huge amounts of high-concentrated vinegar even though it may be irritating to edible, ornamental or wildflowering plants.

To effectively get rid of scale on your outdoor plants, you can use a solution of water and mild dish soap to gently scrub the affected areas. You can also introduce natural predators like ladybugs or use horticultural oils to suffocate the scale insects. Regularly inspecting your plants and removing any visible scale can also help prevent infestations.
