As the subject says. Can plants bring in fish diseases? Do they need the same quarantine regimen that new fish do (I usually do 2 weeks).
 
I don't think that you need to quarantine plants. You can disinfect them with a weak bleach solution or potassium permanganate solution without killing the plants. This is mainly to prevent introducing snails and algae. I don't have the directions, but I'm sure you can find it on the web.
