How to Keep Plants for 2 weeks outside the tank?

I have a big trimmings coming and I want to place them temporarily in a bucket until the tank is ready for about a week or two. How do you keep them in good shape? Do I need to keep them shaded? Ferts and excel?

Thanks for your input.

I kept plants in a rubbermaid bin for months until I planted. I kept the water circulating with a small powerhead, lights (obviously), and fertilized whenever I remembered. Everything came out fine.
