Susan, yes technically, you don't want the leaves to touch the sides of the bags because it can cause them to rot. Plastic against the leaves can hold too much moisture on them and cause rot, but I take the tough love approach with most of my plants. They have to adapt and live in the best conditions I can give them. I do lose a few leaves from touching the sides, and I prevent them from touching if I can, but usually any that I lose are quickly replaced by new growth.

I really should buy stock in the ziploc company. Here's a picture of my stand. Ziploc bags sitting everywhere, and hanging from the sides of the shelf. LOL
