What would be the way to add plants to an already cycled tank with fish and
live plants?

Thanks

The only thing I do with new plants is rinse them with water in the
kitchen sink, the water being about the same temp as tank water. The
chances are very good that snails or snail eggs and creepy-crawlies
(Hydra for example) will be washed away. Oh, the other thing I do is
if the plants are in those little pots with that weird sponge-stuff, I
take them out of the pot and take away that packing stuff from the
roots. Then I put them in my tank with the other plants and fish.
