I tend to think the wax is over-kill; succulents have a system by which they seal their cuts off, called callusing. It usually happens within 48 hours to a week of cutting a piece off. It kinda reminds me of the black spray stuff they sell to seal pruning cuts on trees - now it's known to seal in bacteria and possibly damage the tree via infection.

Just my .02 cents!


And thank you for that 2 cents!
Walk in Peace, Walk in Light, Blessed Be!
