Newb question...

So, how does one go at cleaning and desinfecting a heavily planted (real plants) terrarium. It's not like if you could throw all the plants in a box with a mix of water and bleach. Sorry, I'm kindof lost...

Thanks for the help

Use a rag and hot water for the plants. And use disinfectant on everything non living and rinse off.

It depends what sort of setup that you are using the plants in.
for example, a dart frog tank needs never to be taken down, and the plants never really need to be cleaned. The plants grow, you trim them when necesary, and the misting gently washes the plants down.
But that said, dart frog tanks are generally the exception trather than the rule with respect to other big lizards like tokay geckos and other larger animals.
