Bleach: Disinfecting Plastic Plants

[ocminpin]

I am currently disinfecting/de-green molding/ de-diatoming my plastic plants with bleach solution in a bucket...as well as my betta caves and rock decorations... Leaving them to soak for 10 mins and then well rinsed and into another bucket of super primed water.
How long should I let the plants soak in the water with Prime and should I let them sit out overnight to dry? If so, will they be safe to add to my tanks in the morning?
Thanks!

I would say yes. I wpuld recomend letting them sun dry

As long as it doesn't smell like chlorine, you should be good. I'd let it sit in prime water overnight probably. Triple dosed.

I live in a condo with no sun access :-/

I had it soaking in probably more than triple dose... Smelled like chlorine after 2 hrs so I dumped water and refilled and re-dosed.
Will the fish be okay in tank without any plants or decor overnight or will it stress too much?

Nah they should be fine.
