Some plants are able to regenerate themselves if the base remains intact. Popular examples of this include green onions and celery, but there are others that can regrow themselves. I decided to give it a try with bok choy after reading this
article of someone else who tried it. I bought 2 bok choy from the farmers market the other weekend and decided to soak the base of each plant in its own separate container of water.

Day 1 |
By day 4, a small stub of a growth was visible on both on top, and leaves were starting to regrow out of the bottom.

By day 8 the growth was really visible, especially out of the side of the base.

Day 17 |
Finally after 17 days, I decided to throw my bok choy in the worm bin. They were starting to look ugly as I had forgotten to change the water a few of the days. Overall, it was a cool experiment but it was a shame I could not replant it in the ground.
