I have used Parfilm M and Buddy tape. The Buddy tape (much more expensive) seems to be more stretchable and longer lasting than the Parafilm M. Both will work though, I am currently doing some rooting tests with wrapping cuttings with parfilm to retard dessication.  The Parfilm M product will tend to split before the cuttings will root, but the buddy tape will hold, just darkens in color.

any observations from others?
