What is a bag baby?

[piping plover]

I know this is an older post, but rather than start a new one I thought I’d try here first. Anyone know if BetterGro was selling the baggy babies to garden centers, wholesalers, florists in the 1980s? Yes, even before Home Depot and Lowe’s were nationwide.

Also, anyone know if there were other companies other than BetterGro selling these nationwide? Or was it most likely that a baggy baby in a retail shop in the 80s would have been from BetterGro?

I’m trying to narrow down options of suppliers to get an ID for a baggy baby noid I bought in the northeast in the 80s. I’m pretty sure it was BetterGro because an orchid nursery supplying wholesale 37 years ago would most likely be a FL nursery unless there were other nurseries doing the same thing in CA or something.

I contacted the folks at BetterGro and they have been super helpful to me. Just wanted to be sure I’m focused on the most probable supplier.

Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide!

Best,
Joe
