Help! I divided my peace lily in late summer and the larger stem system of this half didn't fair so well (area circled in red). Is there any hope of regrowth?

Is that part soft and squishy?

Yeah, a little bit toward the top before you get to the dry edges. You can tell where I've cut off the dead stems.

I don't think theres any hope on that stump you circled but you never know. I would just leave it alone or cut it all the way down to the soil.
