Best Way to Disinfect Moss

[JL15219]

I have some moss that I want to put in my discus tank but would like to disinfect it first. I know that you can disinfect regular plants with a bleach solution of 19 parts water to 1 part bleach, but I think this might kill the moss I have never disinfected any kind of moss just hardy plants....would I just use a weaker bleach solution or does some else have a better way? I was thinking about dipping it in the Jungles Clear Water since it is diluted Potassium Permanganate. Any suggestions?

Thanks
