The bulb came off my dwarf water lily when I did a water change today. Is it capable of sprouting anymore? I added a pic of my water lily (with roots only and no bulb) and the bulb. I'm not sure what I should do with it. It's not soft, and it doesn't stink. Thank you!

Per the wife, who is the gardener in the family: If the bulb is still firm, it should re-sprout if you plant it again. And, if she's wrong, you don't have anything to lose by trying. Just make sure it isn't rotting if it doesn't sprout after a reasonable time.
 
I've had a dwarf lily for almost six months. The only time it's come out of the water is for a soak in a mix of dechlorinated water and API leaf zone after we remove a rooted plant. We've gotten ten sprouts off it so far, it has two more growing now.
