plants in a pail for the meantime? Is this okay?

so I dismantled the tank because of the algae that is starting to grow everywhere.

Can I put the plants in a pail? I need to clean the leaves tomorrow because they are full of algae.

Thank you :)
 
By pail, are you talking bucket etc? If it's for several days, they should be OK but it does depend on plants. Crypts, for instance, will probably start to melt (though they'll still grow back after re-planting).
 
I have kept various plants in 'suspended animation' this way for a while. If you push it for more than a week anything but Javafern, anubias, and some mosses will hate you for it.
