If you cut and root, the wax is not needed. Yes that will work, cutting and rooting in February. If you root in soil by planting I wrap the cuttings in parafilm. If you root in long strand peat moss in a box, you don't have to. You don't have to wrap them in parafilm, it just helps keep them moist while rooting. High humidity will work, is needed, misting etc.
One method is to put gallon bag over the pot to keep air around the cutting humid. Then once growing you have to acclimate it to regular air by taking the bag off for an hour, and slowly increase time over about 3 weeks.
In the summer you can do air layers on the tree. It's easy and works well.
