Hi! Thanks for replying! YOu're the veteran i was talking about in my post :D
maybe i don't know the science behind cuttings, but if I strip off the leaves will the stalk not die due to lack of photosynthesis or nutrition?

One bad thing happened.. I didn't have rubbing alcohol, so I sprayed neem oil+water and wiped off the mildew. Then I opened up the saran wrap yesterday afternoon from the top for some circulation, but this morning I realized that the leaves on the bigger stalks have drooped suddenly. I put the wrap back on, maybe I'll puncture some holes instead of opening it wide.

I also have a home humidifier, it ejects cool moist air, wondering if i put it in the wrap, will it count as fresh air circulation? It might also prevent it from drying off.
I know you're based in California... will the cuttings survive the shipment if I send them to you?
