How often/how to clean live plant set up?

[The Biologist]

How does one go about cleaning an enclosure that has live plants in it. Mine has a hibiscus potted on the ground, a pothos plant potted on the ground, and a smaller pothos hanging in the mid-range.

I regularly clean up the urate and fecal matter as I see it (usually not too difficult as it is usually in the drip collecting dish), but by now there is crusted urate on some of the leaves as well as pieces of skin from his last couple molts. Have a waited too long already?

Does anyone have any suggestions? Complete deconstruction would be dreadful.
