Seems sensless to keep plants or fish, just so they don't die. If you can't properly take care of things maybe you should try Beanie babies or something along that line.
What? All of my fish are in perfect health, most in tanks 3x larger than they would thrive in (ie, a single 1/2 grown convict in a 55 all to itself), most of my tanks get 50% water changes three times a week. Soon, I'll be opening up a larger tank for my german blue rams (and possibly some new Altum Angels I've been offered), and I can't place the plants I plan to use in any other tank, as they'll get eaten and destroyed by the fish. So I need a place to put them in the mean time, and I'd hate to waste a $50 bag of Substrate on a tank the plants are only in for a couple weeks. It won't matter if they grow in this tank, it's just used to hold them for abit. Once they get into their permanent tank, they'll grow like mad. Pressurized C02 systems, Ei Dosing with an entire Flourish line, and ADA substrate usually has that effect. So please try not to make assumptions when you obviously don't understand the original idea.
