Wax is sometimes used to cover a cut in a woody stem, in older plant books. Most methods of slip-cut propagation now involve wrapping the stem with clear plastic wrap and tape. However, I have read about covering a graft or slip-cut with candle wax. To me, it would be much simpler to wrap with plastic wrap and tape.
