When a plant is wrapped in and tied to a plastic bag, it eventually dies due to starch depletion. The plant requires carbon dioxide and water to produce food in the presence of sunlight via the photosynthesis process aided by chlorophyll.
Plants protected by plastic bags retain moisture and even capture what transpiration produces. However, don't use plastic bags as a greenhouse for succulents because they can tolerate neglect but not this level of moisture.
