They might. If they're in a pot like I'm thinking, they're packed in rock wool. Just pull out the rock wool, and then carefully peel the plants out of it. You might rip some roots, but they'll grow back. When I say weak solution, I mean like, a bucketful of water and like, a capful of bleach. I dip my plants in this solution for 30 seconds, then I rinse well with tap water until the plants no longer smell like bleach. I'm sure you can't do this with very sensitive plants, but I have yet to lose one plant from this practice.
