Can you put them in a tank, that has not had any previously? Yes
Use simple/easier plants, and see how you get on plant list

edit:Anubias & Java Fern needed to be tied to something, and not planted in the sand

If you don't want snails in your tank have a good look at the plants before you put them in.
