A picture is a good thing here, but you may find your answer at the FAQ for your question. Simply answered, however, 'yes' is indicated. Here is a link that might be useful: Just Root, Baby This post was edited by cactusmcharris on Fri, May 16, 14 at 2:05

Change the soil, cut off all dead roots, use the right soil mix. water and fertilize once a week if the plant has live roots. Make sure it has plenty of fresh air, sun. Sun is needed to grow well. Don't let it sit in water, and don't water if the soil is still damp. Put a chop stick or pencil down in to the mix and see if it is perfectly dry. Pick up the pot and feel the weight, then feel the weight after it is watered. When you water make sure it is thorough. Water must readh the root ball. Give it love, make sure it is healthy. Do not use Peat moss in the soil, make sure the mix drains fast. If this doesn't work bury it and say a prayer. It bends over to reach the sun. Gradually put it into the sun, if you were going to the beach now when it is hot and sun out, wouuld you get a sun burn if you were out for a few hours? Don't just give you plant a drink, put it in the shower and drench it for 5 minutes, the water must reach the center of the root ball not just the edges around the pot. I don't know what more to tell you at at moment. I don't have any books to send, which you do need. I wish I could be of more help. Norma

Everything above the root level had been broken off/snapped off. The root system is completely intact, though and I let it dry out completely for a day, and it's now sitting in a small pot with some gritty soil. I'm guessing it'll grow new rosettes soon right, or will the roots die? The broken off rosette I just ended up throwing away because I didn't think it would regrow. Woops. And the label on the pot wasn't too specific. I'm almost positive it was this type

carefully remove several of the lower "leaves" allow to air dry then apply 0.1% IBA (Rooting hormone)to "stem" stick in well drained soil & keep soil damp not wet..... the Leaves should be air dried & IF have a small cut area then also apply the same rooting hormone & stick in the soil There is a good chance it will also root. but both will be slow to root
