The bug spray calls for lemon which wards off insects. Does it come in a lemon variety? I too like the Castile (which is olive oil base) but don't waste it on plants.

Ingredients were more than just the four you listed but it still shouldn't have killed your plants - soap is used all the time in commercial products, is a surfactant & many others have commented about using Dawn (lemon repels insects).
