     depending upon what type of plant the roots may   
   form at the nodes where the leaves came out from   
   that you removed or there may be spots on the stem   
   that can generate new roots, or even both...

     if it is still alive that's all that counts.   
   you won't likely see new roots right away, not   
   many plants can restart them immediately but   
   perhaps within a week or two there should be   
   some signs.   
      
     again, this is dependent upon what type of   
   plant.  some are very easy and others are   
   harder.  mums are easy.   
      
     if you want to actually learn this sort of   
   thing invest some time at the library and get   
   some books on plant propagation.
