Hi, I have what I think is a Cryptocoryne Wendtii plant I got from the LFS. I'd like to clean it in case Ich or snail eggs or something is on it before putting it in my tank. Whats an easy, good and safe way to clean them?
Also, I have these fern plants that arent doing good. I dont know whether they are truely aquatic plants or if theres something else, because they get brown leaves. Pictured with them is some sword plants that dont seem to ever grow. They stay that size and dont ever get any new growth. I guess I am just looking for some pointers on care.

Last, I have a plant that has 2 stalks on it that appear to have a base on it with a few pointy things coming out of it. I am wondering if these will be turning to flowers or if they are something I can cut off and replant, sorta like baby plants cut away from a mother plant. If they are flowers I wanna cut them because I dont want the plant to die or slow down.

1st pic is the plant that I think is Cryptocoryne Wendtii plant
2nd pic is the ferns and swords
3rd pic is the plant with the stalks on it. They are up towards the top.
