Yes it works, I bag foliage and seal it into a plastic lunch box, then store in the vegetable crisper(7C), stays fresh for around 2 months... to bring them to room temp just take the plastic lunch box out of the fridge and sit it unopened on a bench for an hour or so.

Definitely no need to defrost the fridge... I think someone is fukin with you there.

Just cut the stems a couple nodes longer than you need for a cutting as you will need to recut the stems when you want to strike the cuttings.
