Doris Klene, someone on another thread had used peroxide and saved a sick brug some time back. If you are sure your cutting is on it's last leg anyway, what have you got to lose? I am terrible with remembering names, but the lady had a brug that had a bad place on the trunk and it was getting in bad shape. She poured peroxide on the place, then poured some in the soil around the trunk. Next morning she watered it. It got ok. She said she also healed a dying clematis that the drain hole had got clogged and it was standing in water when she discovered it and was beginning to get root rot. She unclogged the pot and poured peroxide in the pot. It fizzed, but next day the soured smell was gone from the soil in the pot and he plant lived. Sounded like a miracle to me, but I filed that cure away in my brain.
