I dont think there is enough root system on it, but it is now detached so try it. Nothing lost.

Hm...it might just do..but it will need lots of TLC to get it going again. Get rid of all the leaves par one...there is not much root to left to keep any top growth going. Looks like there is two leaf stalks left...remove the bigger one and leave the younger one and I would even reduce the green leaf into half.
Your new planting spot will need good amount of 'good stuff' to keep it fertile and moisture retentive..keep the plant watered through out the summer, fingers crossed and hopefully it will start growing again.
