I would try soaking the rocks for an hour or so and see if you can start to pick the rocks off. The wax you should be able to get a sharp knife and get right up underneath the wax to pop it off!

The wax protected the freshly cut ends from mold, bacteria and pests when the nursery propagated the pieces. New growth comes from the side shoots.
