Plant Has No Leaves, Will They Grow Back?

[KkAaNnEe]

Basically, I bought an Alternanthera bunch from my LFS about 4 weeks ago, it did great for a couple weeks but has just been shredded in the last couple weeks, the leaves just almost shedded from the stem, I also saw my shrimp munching on it... I dont know whether it was a lack of nutrients. light or what. It is now just stems with small bits of leaf left, will it grow back?

Anyone?

Try your question in the planted tank forum. They're a bunch of green fins over there.

i would say as long as the main stem is green, chances are the leaves will grow back. ive had this happen with a few of my plants. but im sure it depends on the type of plant.

As long as you still have some green on the plant and the roots look good and healthy they should recover.
