@RickCorey - I hadn't realized that there were differences in bleach. I'lll read the labels when I go to the store. And the thought of perfumed bleach is giving me the willies.

I think where I'm my plants worst (well worst is questionable - long list) enemy is that I take many small plants that are in 4" plastic pots and then set them in larger clay pots. I've even seen where I've put a pot in a pot in a pot. Sometimes for appearance. Mostly so the little guys don't get blown over or knocked over by Ms Clumsy here. I'm wondering if it might help to clean the clay pots that I'm setting the plastic pots in.

A few nights ago I had to bring most of the smaller ones inside b/c we were getting a hard rain. (Not complaining.) Now I can take them back outside for awhile. I feel like my plants have a mantra of sorts that goes, 'I'm your plant and I want to go out. I'm your plant and I want to come in. I'm your plant and I want to go back out.' and on and on.
I guess it would be good to give the clay pots a good scrubbing and use fresh pots when the little ones are ready to be potted up.

As always, thanks for your advice.
