Plant question?

[davidg88]

When I first got a chameleon I was sold one that ended up being sick, they were not sure what it had and it seems like now they think he may have been born blind. I had a live plant in his cage and after I exchanged the sick one I disinfected everything. I am now looking to put the live plant back in the cage after about a week. Is there a risk that something could get transmitted through the plant or is there a way to disinfect it?

Thanks

This is from Dgray on an earlier post concerning aphids -

Aphids are the easiest things in the world to kill. This is fortunate, because there's almost nothing that breeds faster than aphids.

A blast of water might dislodge most of them, but I wouldn't count on it. I like to burn their little hides with Safer's Insecticidal Soap. Its harmless to you and I, and our scaly pets. It washes off cleanly and is not unpleasant to use. I usually spray and wait for it to dry; then I wash off the carcasses.

FWIW, I also use this stuff for cleaning plants off when I first get them to rid them of their greenhouse sprays.
