Adding New Plants

[Fish4Andy]

I have a large bunch of aquatic plants coming from Malaysia either today or tomorrow. Since I already have a dragonfly nymph in my tank, I'm a little skeptical about sticking them straight in. Should I un-bunch them all and wash them individually to reduce the chances of getting hitchhikers? I could also leave them in a bucket for a few days to see if anything comes off.

What would you recommend?

Thanks

just a soak in normal water normally works for me. Your never guaranteed not to introduced snails into your tank with live plants, but a soak in normal h2o doesn't hurt.
