Lol no, plants won't survive a 99% alcohol dip lol. Wash the plants and roots under running cold water, a mild bleach dip is fine.
I know you had it rough with the m. Marinum, so I can understand being cautious. Obviously, autoclaving your soils would be bad, but, you can sit them out in the sun and allow everything to dry and then bake in the sun for 30 days or so and you won't lose many nutrients. In fact, in the planted tank game, we use mineralized top soil. It actually increases the nutrient levels in the soil, and may be a choice for you. It's a long drawn out process of moistening and drying and repeating the drying prices though.
Do we have informational overload yet? Lol
