I have one that did just the same thing. It hasn't grown any roots and had just one small multi stemmed stalk. I finally pulled the very small stalk off and put it in water. It rooted just fine, although it still seems to be growing very slowly. Also the potato made another small stalk and it is doing much the same thing. I'm babying it along because it is the only Margarita that I have. Of course the Blackies are growing like crazy. I have found that some do very well and others don't. Some just keep on making more and more others may only produce one and some not any at all. They are all getting pretty much the same treatment but the difference may just be in the tubers them self.
DP, I do mine this way for two reason first it's really fun to watch them root and second I think I get a lot more starters this way.
This is what I have right now, I've given a lot of them away already.
