Plants Coming Tomorrow

[Luketendo]

Ok my greenline plants are arriving tomorrow and my new tank won't be set up until saturday.

What should I do with my plants until then?

1. Put them in one of my algae infested tanks? I'd probably just leave them floating or something.

Or something else?

Does anyone have an idea of to what I should do?

Are they hardy plants or demanding?

for most common plants i would just chuck them in the algae infested tank

I think all but one requires low light so I suppose they are hardy.

I guess it's only like a day and a half.

Even I've got the new tank up I'll get some pictures of my smaller tank (which is staying) and post them up here and try to deal with my algae problems.

Unfortunately my tanks do get sunlight..

as far as i know plants are fine for around 3 days without light, but dont quote me on that!!

The plants should be fine for a few days without light, they might take a very small hit, but nothing truly noticeable. I leave all my lights off when I leave town and everything is "normal" when i come back (sometimes I leave for 5-10 days and its all still ok)

I suppose they still need water and everything?

They need to stay moist, plants will be fine for days in a very damp paper towel.

Nah they're fine in the tanks, I have labels on the bottom bits and hood so I don't forget which one is which. I do know what some of them are though .
