how long can nepnethes sit in water?

i know they really shouldnt.
 
I don't know the best answer.. but my raff used to sit in water all the time with no harm..

and may I ask why you are asking this? are you going on a trip or something?
 
i know it sounds weird but i need to have them in some trype of water catcher till i relocat them/expand drainage system. It needs a week or so to take care of. Just makeing sure root rot wount be coming on too heavy.
 
I had a Ventricosa sit in a deep saucer of tap water when I was away from college a few years ago. I was leaving for about 3.5 weeks, so I bought a saucer as deep as the pot and filled it to the brim with water before I left. I also filled all the pitchers with water.

I came back after winter break and the plant looked fine. The saucer was empty, but it produced a ton of new leaves.
