    I always take my cuttings and plant them then put the pot in a clear plastic bag. Mist inside the bag and tie a knot at the top and sit in the shade under the front porch. Works every time. Not just blackberries, pretty much everything... Apple, pear, peach ECT.

    On figs instead of rooting hormone I use a mixture of cinnamon and honey. Just mix it together and rub it on the rooting area. Works almost every time. Would probably work on any cuttings. I currently have five fig cuttings in pots and all five took root.

    I've had great success propagating cuttings by floating styrofoam in a fish tank. Stick the cutting in so the bottom hangs into the water and the bubbles from the air pump will make it root. I learned that trick many years ago surfing the web and stumbled across a web page that showed this method. It's worked great for green cuttings, not hardwood cuttings. I add a little bit of rabbit poo to the water to feed the new roots.

    Have you tried cutting into the stem, but leaving it attached, then packing some peat moss/potting soil around it, then wrapping it in a plastic pop bottle or plastic bag and tape till it produces roots. Leadfarmer73 does something similar to that on his trees. I think he's in the Carolinas or Georgia.

    Have you ever tried Propagation from roots? When I received my Prime Ark Freedoms they sent me root clippings. I Buried them in pots and it took a bit but I had a 90% success rate. I have also dug up roots and let them grow from the sides until they became a plant and cut them off and transplanted them with their root system. Its just a thought, might be a fun project for you since you still have some in a pot.

    I would likely drip the entire above ground portion in my wax pot. That will produce a good seal and once the plant starts growing it it break off. Maybe the tape will work.
    Many take a large plastic pop bottle and cut the upper half off and put the inverted bottom over the upright shoots to seal in all moisture. A mist chamber is what it is. You also need a shade cloth until the plant roots. You likely want only the minimal leaf surface area until the plant roots.

    I live in Dallas County and I've had good luck using Parafilm. I find it a bit easier to work with plus you can wrap over the nodes and the bud will breakthrough the tape. I reckon if grafting tape works for you then don't fix what ain't broke. Good Luck!

    Get an old fish tank (large) the put the plants inside with 1/4 inch water on the bottom. Seal the top with plastic wrap, no direct sun light and leave the cuttings inside for ten days or until you see roots forming on the cuttings. This is what I use to keep them from wilting, 40 gallon fish tank & plastic over the top.

    I have No idea what my problem is. I have tried everything you have said & failed on everyone but one. I started in spring. I ordered some cutting from a place on the East
    coast that were sent rapped with wetted paper towels around the roots should have
    Spouted & put the in wetted sand as many do. In a pvc transparent container with a lid
    so to keep the moisture in. Opened them ever so often to let fresh air in. They all turned
    Black & died. I live in Okla & you know how hot it has been this summer. So I kept them in the house. I figure next spring I will just bite the bullet & but some two year old plants &
    Hope for the best. Even the wild blackberries died here in eastern okla this year. Normally
    We have them growing all around us. I,m really sick & tired of this.

      I know sometimes it’s expensive to buy plants, but it’s always best because you’re getting a two-year Headstart on your cuttings.
