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.

    White vinegar and water. No chemicals .

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

    Third.... White vinegar, if anything shady was in the pot, I'll spray it down with the fungicide I use on the plants after I rinse the vinegar off too. Just to doubly make sure

    If 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?

      I 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.

    If you have one: dishwasher. Gets super hot, washes everything off, and very low-maintenance

      Oh I didn’t think about that! What a great idea.
