What should i do with my plants over Christmas Break?

Hi, this is my first post on FTTV... i am in college and i have a 10 gallon planted tank in my dorm.  I have wisteria, jungle val, java fern, and an amazon sword and a couple lillies. Christmas break is coming upand its like 3 and a half weeks long.  My plan is to take the fish with me in a bucket with the filter and heater. This way i can still feed them over break. I am going to leave the tank at school. The light is on a timer so its on for about 11 hours a day. So they will still be getting the same amount of light. Will my plants be okay with no heater over break? or should i buy a new one for the plants?

ya ...3 weeks is a long time.

I would take the fish in the bucket and filter. Feed the plants before you leave.

Pretty sure your dorm is kept at 76 degree ..if not...might have to keep the heater on.
