It just occured to me that the plants I ordered this week may come when I am out of town. If they do could I just get my mother to put them in like a bucket with water? Just kinda float them in it untill I get back? I'll only be gone two days and I have a feeling they'll come on the last day of my trip. Any thoughts?

they should be ok, you're only gone for 2 days anyway congrats on the new plants

i would get your mum to float them to be honest. plants need light.

I think they would be OK for a few days in a bucket. I prune my planted aquarium, and the prunings often spend several days in a bucket until I figure out what to do with them.

I have even put the cuttings in the dark for a week to rid them of any algae, and they survive that!

Ok I'll tell her to float them for me if they come while I'm gone. Thanks so much guys!

Just incase anyone was wondering they didn't come while I was away so yea!!!
