Dahlia cuttings turning black at growth points

I'm trying to root some dahlia cuttings from various plants around my garden. I'm not having issues with rot at the cut points, I'm having issues with uncut growth points turning black. I've tried with a humidity dome and without, this is indoors at consistent low to mid 70s temperature, and this keeps happening. I'm attempting to root with rooting hormone in moist vermiculite. Any insight or recommendations?
