Plant Storage Possibility

[BenB]

These plants have been sitting in this container in the dark for 9 days. They are still wet, but the container isn't 100% air tight.
Plants look great. They are crispy and green. I removed them from the tank on Oct 11. It's Oct 20.
I haven't had a chance to do hardly any tank maintenance since my trip, but I needed to get some stuff out to make room for some tc plants I ordered.
I thought someone might want some of this, so I put it in this container, and was going to offer it all up if I thought I'd have time to ship. (Too late now)
I can't believe how long they've lasted.
So if you need a way to store some plants for a few days. This might be an option.
Note: Both things were pulled up roots and all. If I had cut stems, they might not have lasted?

Amazing! At what temperature did you store them?
A couple of years ago, I put all my plants into a black plastic bag and placed it on a windowsill (it was winter, so it was cool there). They stayed like that for 7 days. Everything was fine, except for the Pogostemon erectus. There was a little bit of water in the bag with that plant, and it almost completely rotted away. I managed to plant the only remaining bit—literally a 1 cm tip—and it took root. So, it’s important to emphasize that there shouldn’t be any water in the container with the plants.
