New Plant Arrived: How Long Too Long?

I ordered Easy Green & decided to get another Anubias. So I want to bleach or salt dip it, but haven’t had a chance. It arrived Wednesday and is a wet bag, potted somehow. What would be a good way to store it until I can add it to the tank (hopefully this weekend).

You want to bleach a plant?
And you can still put the plant in the tank. I just leave mine in the tank even if I don't end up planting them right away.

I would just get a bucket and put some aquarium water in it then put the plant in. I have salt dipped my anacharis, I don't know about bleach dipping plants. I've heard of it but never done it.

Permanganate is preferred. It's less harsh for the plant and just as mean to any hitchhikers.

However, I don’t have that nor do I have aquarium salt. I can’t find any references that use table salt for a dip.

Haven't heard of using salt. I've only heard of bleach and potassium permanganate.
