How to Sanitize Live Plants

[LiquidLife]

We keep floating watersprites, java moss, some other miscellaneous floating plants in all of our tanks. What we'd like to know is if anyone can suggest some easy but effective way to sanitize live plants. We don't want to put plants from one tank into another without making sure they are not carrying some pathogen/fungus (so far, we haven't had a parasite problem) but the watersprites multiply and get redistributed to other tanks. I've looked at what is commercially available and haven't found anything that washes and sanitizes plants except for snailcide (and we don't have a snail problem). Someone once suggested a mild bleach+water mix but that only seems to kill the watersprites. Other than getting an UV thing, has anyone any workable ideas? (Oh, these plants live among fish.)

Two things you could try. I usually use the first method, especially if you don't have a snail problem. Mix aquarium salt to a fairly strong solution(disinfectant solution) and give your plants a 5 minute dip into the solution holding onto its roots. Then turn the plant the other way and dip the root end for no more than 1 minute. Then rinse off the solution and plant.
The second methed is to rub into the whole plant something like a diluted solution of Liquisil. Leave for about 5 minutes and then plant directly into tank without rinsing.
Hope this has helped.
