yes, plants can grow there roots back, but it has to be the full plant. Not a flower, fruit, bud, etc. You have to keep it in a cup or vase filled with water.

I put the top in water and after about a week it is growing back and greener than ever. I give it new water ever other day and make sure it doesn't get dusty. Sometimes I have to take the dead plant off of the base so the roots can grow past it. Very fun, you get attached to it.
