will a new melting anubis grow back, if others are doing well in the tank

[Magnum Man]

if you save the rhizome, and roots in the tank???

It often grows back slowly but I wonder why it melted & the others didn't. I had an a. barteri (?) that was fairly large & when I cut the rhizome it had a few brown fibers in the middle. Neither half grew well even after cutting off the affected brown parts & slowly died. I don't know if it was a virus or what. I'd wait & see for a few months.

Patience. If the rhizome's okay, they generally rebound.

Eventually. They aren't in a hurry.

they began melting in shipping, and I hoped they would get better in the tank, they continued the melting process.... I let the rhizomes loose, and replaced the plants... the rhizomes were firm and looked normal... they floated around until they found a place... I don't see them anymore, assume they snagged into the pothos, or peace lily roots... maybe someday I'll see a new start somewhere??? That has happened often with java fern, where a baby breaks off, and starts a new clump, somewhere else ( though I've never had java fern melt )
