Banana plant destroyed

[Anemone afterlife]

Will a banana plant that has lost all its leaves to snails survive and regrow??

If it still has roots, then it should. What happened to it? What kind of setup is it in? Any info (type of light, fertilizers, co2, etc) helps.

Well it has no roots or leaves just the banana part on it now
I use API root tabs in the ten gallon aquarium where it is now.

Hard to say. You could just leave it in there. If it re-grows roots, it should be fine. If it starts to rot, then you should remove it.

I bought three of these a few weeks ago. They lost their original leaves but have put out new ones. The snails ate the old leaves as they died. I think they just have to adjust to a new tank. Give it time and some fertilizer and it should regrow leaves.
