I have one in my tank for about a wk now but havent noticed any progress. It came with two small roots that i are touching the water. I dont want to submerge the potato any further because i heard doing so will cause it to rot. Am i doing it all wrong? Any potato head on this board :😛

Give it time. If you're super concerned, maybe consider submerging the potato a little bit so the roots have full contact with the water, and then as they grow you can lift the potato out of the water.

I submerged it a bit further but havent noticed any changes. Maybe it's a dud? Thanks
could be. but even with Pothos which I propogate/grow in my tanks will take up to two weeks to show the beginnings of roots. Not always but it's not uncommon.

Give it some more time before calling it a dud.
