What to do with plants waiting to be planted?

[CargoRed]

Hi - I'm a newbie and first time poster, but I've been lurking for a while.
I received some plants the I ordered from a seller on Aquabid, but it will be a day or so before I can put them in actual substrate in a filtered tank. What should I do with them in the meantime? I have them floating in water right now. (chlorinated)

If it matters, I have
Pennywort
Anubias Nana
Swordplant
Frogbit

Thanks!!
Carla

Is the tank running? You can just float them in the tank...

Nope. Tank isn't running yet. It'll be friday before that happens, more likely saturday. I guess if it's an emergency, I could take the betta out (it's not baffled) and put the plants in. Seems sorta backwards, lol.

Bucket should be fine. Light would be good though... especially if it will be till saturday. A lamp or a clip on desk light or something... You have some pretty hardy plants, so I don't think you will have too many problems.

Thanks for the speedy replies! I have them in a clear 1 gallon jar, hopefully that's enough light.
