I was going to suggest a chlorine bleach dip.
Well, that's true, but I was thinking of a quick dip, 30 seconds or so.
never had a prob with chlorine dip diluted one part bleach to 19 parts water with a dechlorinated water rinse on my java fern or anubias---I use it to remove bba
I have had issues, so i dont ever do it, nor do i encourage others to do it
Java fern and anubias are also quite tough plants....the OP's plant is neither of those
I will be trying some local collected plants shortly myself. and all will be going through a parasitic control quarantine, pretty sure none would appreciate anything bleach.
