Ways to wash driftwood for going straight into the tank are there any?

On the odd occasion that I have the urge to have live plants...and after having many complete failures and pest snail invasions in the past....this is my supplier of choice (incase your usual one has not got what you are after)

Exceptionally well packaged, always high quality....and they even manage to live despite my complete lack of green thumbs

There what I went for but my lps had there usuall rubbish(plants looking a bit dead) and the chain shop only had moss balls so I guess I’ll be going hunting again tomorrow after work

You can get Tropica plants from Pets at Home and Amazon.

My local carries the range, but they're popular and sell quickly. Best to ask when they get deliveries.

I have used a few on-line sellers for plants, there's more choice than in 'real' shops. I have shrimps and snails so I only use those shops which can guarantee shrimps safe, other shops might be equally as good but just not safe for shrimps. The downside to shrimp safe is they are also pest snail safe.
These are the sellers I've used -

Seller k2aqua on eBay

With java plants I had to wait a week till they got everything in stock, but healthy, well packaged plants.

It's worth noting that some plants, especially imports from the EU, have been treated with anti-snail chemicals and those chemicals are equally toxic to shrimp. Either check with the supplier, or give them a dashed good rinsing beforehand, if you're putting them in a tank with shrimp and/or snails.
(Tropica plants are safe).

In vitro plants are shrimp safe and don't have pest snails.
EU plant growers include Tropica, Aquafleur, Aquadip, Dennerle and a small UK company Planteklab
