It depends on the species. But about 7-8 days, give or take, and if you place the plant in a large container and fill it up with water the plant can live for about 16 days. However, there is a possibility of the roots rotting but this is much better than leaving the plant dry and if you don't do it often it won't hurt the plant.

If you're planning to go on vacation for some weeks you should place a towel in the bathtub and poor some water over it so that it's dripping wet and then you should place your plants over it. I don't have a bathtub so I put some plastic garbage bags in the shower so the water wouldn't run down the drain. I was away for 16 days and only one of the 10 plants were dead.

It depends on the prevailing conditions. Plants have great re-generative power and each cell tries to live and develop into full plant (totipotency).
