What's with the plastic bag, Pat? I callous potential transplants by just
leaving them on a saucer
or paper towel out of direct sun. I should think that putting them in a
plastic bag would get just
the OPPOSITE of desired effect -- callousing. Moisture from transplant
would condense inside the plastic bag.


With non-succulent plants, I suggest an *inflated* plastic bag as you are
less likely to get serious wilting but still get some drying at the stump end.
Plenty of air = less condensation. In fact, you can even leave the cut end
sticking out of the bag!

I'd agree that you'd never want the plastic draped over the foliage.
