it is used a lot in organic gardening.. washes off many small bugs and is a surfactant to help chemicals and plant food to move thruout the soil and plant.. Another good trick is to apply Epsom's salts (about a Tblspn per plant) to the soil about tomatos , tomatios, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers , squash and others..

I have heard it helps. Well what I was told I lived in Las Vegas where grass doesn't grow naturaly so to speak. So I was told to use a mixture of water and dish soap because the soap some how makes the soil break down and accept the water. It did actually help and the grass started turning green. BUT I am not sure about house plants but that is my experience with it.

It would depend on the plant. Some can tolerate the soap while others can not.

I wouldn't try it. Soap contains lye which will alter the plants cellular stucture, changing the pH level.
