Depends on what kind of plant I normally do 24 to 72 hours

Thank you!

The thicker the plant stem is, the longer it should be left to callous :)

anywhere from half an hour to over a week, depends on the plant like others have mentioned but also on your local environment, if you’re in a dry climate and your home has lots of airflow your plants will be able to close wounds much faster than for someone who lives in a humid environment with little to no airflow in their home.
