Disinfecting Plants. . .

[sukie]

Hey Guys,
I know someone might of asked this. . .but I'm lazy! I'll admit it right now!

But I've did a search on disinfecting plants . . . and 1-16 bleach dip is this the only way??

I've got a dead 2.5gal tank. . . except the plants.
It use to have a puffer & an otto (which have died, reasons unknown) but the plants are still living strong:
Java fern & Java moss. . .

Is there a way to save them?? Or should I just chuck them??

And is there another way to disinfect besides the bleach dip. . .
Sincerely Newbie,
Sukie

Why do you want to bleach the plants? bleaching is really a last resort and may kill the plants, if you do bleach them use a 20/1 or a 25/1 water bleach mix, and immeaditaly dip them afterwards in double strength dechlorinator to neutralise the bleach.
