Ok so on the bright side it looks like I'm getting new roots on my albo cutting. However, does it look like the ends of the cutting are rotting? And if so how do I treat?

Yeah I would cut off the end. You can let it dry out to avoid more rot. I’ve also seen people use candle wax or super glue to harden off the ends of clippings.
