first off make sure that your frogs in which the plant is housed are clean and free of parasites so if you do take a cutting and into another tank you woudl not transfer any pathogens.

on another note, what kind of plant is it?

Take a clean (debris free) cutting and dip it in a 10% bleach solution followed by two thorough rinses.

Or just wash it off with soap and some warm water rinse, which will physically remove anything that is adhering to the leaves. The chances or any possible diseases or parasites adhering to it are really sparse.
