Water them well and regularly and hope. If the rhizome is still alive they will shoot again from that. But they don't like to be in waterlogged ground, so don't turn it into a swamp. If these are new divisions, ie, sections of plant made by dividing a larger plant, done recently, then they might not have had sufficient root to support all their leaves and culms anyway: it is good practice to shorten or cut out some culms from a recent division.
