Can my bird of paradise grow back from just the roots? (hexbear.net)

My potted indoor bird of paradise had its only remaining stem snapped off in the wind the other day, now it is totally bare above ground except for a few old stems… is there any chance it will recover or should I just throw it out? kitty-cri

If it was otherwise healthy, it will almost certainly grow back. Most monocot houseplants are virtually indestructible as long as there's a growth node left either on the stem or rhizome and they've been watered at some point in the last six months. This does not apply to calatheas, which will die if you look at them the wrong way.
