    I do the bleach and scrub and dishwasher for plastic . Clay, bleach soak, dishwasher and nuke in the microwave. If it is a pot that has had a problem plant in it , or seen better days then I trash it . Gin

    Didn't get to vote, but I clean and reuse them. I never reuse them for other orchids however. I clean and sanitize them so as I can put other plants in them. ^^

    Default I love my pots.

    I have a thing decorative planters, and the only time I get rid of one is when I have to break it to get a plant out. Before I was just washing them with plan old detergent and water, now I think I'll do the bleach thing and look into some antifungals, etc. etc.
