Sterilizing Plastic Pots for Reuse in Terrariums

Weylin asks how to clean plastic pots for reuse in a terrarium and whether reused pots harbor mold or fungus.

Simple Bleach Soak Does the Trick

Wash pots thoroughly with dish soap and warm water. Then rinse in a chlorine bleach solution (follow label dilution for disinfection) and let air dry without rinsing off the bleach. This kills mold spores and pathogens. Once dry, they're safe for terrarium use.

Good Growing!
