If you can, please list what is in the spray(?). Oily compounds are
not good on soft plants like Pings and Sundews. Often the inert
materials (what the poison is cut with) are not listed, but for CPs,
these can still cause harm. One bottle of the same poison maybe
safe under one brand and not under another. If you can't get any better
info, try it on a couple plants (or part of a plant) before using it
all over.
