I use an all natural dishsoap, Seventh Generation. I put about 1/4 teaspoon in a 32 oz. spray bottle of water. I get all the leaves and undersides about once a week. It's not organic soap, but I'm sure you could find some. You might try a few cloves of garlic cut in half in a spray bottle of water. I haven't used it, but I hear it works.
