New plants how to keep overnight

[Lauren A]

Hi!  This is my first post on this forum.  I apologize if this is a repeat topic.

 

I just received a new shipment of plants from Aquarium Co-op.  First I have to say they are gorgeous and I received them SO fast.  My question is, for keeping them healthy for a day and night before putting in my tank, should I leave them packaged as is.  Or should I remove them from packaging and pots and keep in a container/bucket for the day?  
 

Basically I do not have the time to plant them in their tank until tomorrow.
 

I’m fairly new to the hobby.  Sorry if this question has already been answered.  I’m still familiarizing myself w the forum.   
 

Thank you in advance! Lauren

either put them in a bucket of water, or just drop them into the tank.

Ok, thank you.  That’s easy enough  I appreciate your help.  Have a great day!

I like to stage new plants in a bucket with a sponge filter and a light. This way you can take your time with planting.
