I wouldn't want bleach to drip into the media of a potted plant. Maybe other people on here have that happen without problems, I don't know. But the bleach is like a nuclear weapon to everything fungal/bacteria that is alive in your media. In a healthy plant, you will have a positive balance, with more of the good aerobic bacteria than the bad anaerobic. Bleach would wipe that all clean and make life start over again. It is possible to create a pythium problem in potted plants by bleaching plant media.
