What’s the best way to clean pots between plants? I live in an apartment and I’m a little wary of having a big thing of bleach around.

Oh, that’s perfect. I’d prefer not to use chemicals as well. Thank you both!

2 Me gustaIf there was nothing suspect in the pot before (root rot, etc.) I use hot water and dish soap. Otherwise white vinegar is a go to, or if it’s not plastic boiling water and letting it soak.

I have mostly glazed and unglazed clay…boiling water doesn’t crack clay pots for you?
0 Me gustaI tend to use ceramic pots and the few times I’ve used it on those it hasn’t bothered them. But if you have concerns white vinegar is a good cleaner, and cleaning vinegar is even stronger.
1 me gustaIf you have one: dishwasher. Gets super hot, washes everything off, and very low-maintenance
