I am trying to make a solution to clean some new plants I have
bought/will buy.
Som einstructions on the web says to have 1 part bleach and 19 parts
water.
What does this mean?

Dont do it . Yuo can crash your new plant ?
what for do you want to clean plants ?





If it's hairy, black algae (often called black brush algae), C.
siamensis (Siamese Algae Eeaters) will eat it. It is virtually
impossible to remove from plants by hand. Cut off the worst looking
leaves, introduce the fish, and wait 4-6 weeks for most of the algae to
disappear. First, you'll see that new growth is algae free, and then
you'll see the older algae eaten to sort of a blackish residue - you may
want to remove those leaves once the plants have plenty of algae free
leaves.
