My husband raises Dart frogs in a vivarium. To make the plants chemical free he'd wash the soil they came in before planting and then temporarily plant them in organic soil. After about a month they were chemical free and good to go in the tank. But those plants you couldn't remove all the soil from the roots with out risking damage to the plant. You can do the same thing in a week or two(I'd lean towards two to be safe) if you remove all the soil/what ever they used for substrate(ours came in foam). Give it a gentle wash to remove any surface chemicals and then treat it like an air plant, misting it daily.
