well..im one of those people who sees no reason to ever keep a sarr indoors at all!
IMO they should always be outdoors..do much better that way..better light, better climate, and catch their own food..
but in this case, we have no idea if this particular plant is ready for dormancy or not, and its getting too cold to keep it outdoors..(where do you live?)
so you might need to keep it indoors for now..
I would assume that mass-produced plants like these were probably grown outdoors, its more economical to grow hundreds or thousands of plants outdoors than indoors in a nursery situation..
so odds are these target plants have been grown outdoors in
"Half moon bay" california..
(we can call and ask! anyone here local to that area?)

I went to
www.weather.com and entered their zip code (94019)
they are in the San Francisco area..their daytime highs are in the 60's this week, and nighttime lows around 50..so it looks like they have a cool autumn..
So! if I got one of these target plants (and im going to look for one!
I would assume it has been living outdoors in mid-California all this year, and so, is likely ready for dormancy..
I would put it outside with my other sarrs right now, and out it in the fridge with the others in early November..
to me, that seems less risky that leaving it indoors and growing all winter, and getting no dormancy until a whole year from now..these are obviously adult plants, IMO they should go dormant this winter..
getting back to the bag..I would say still remove it!
you dont need saturated air, it doesent need to be ultra-humid..I think the bag would be more harmfull that beneficial..
