if the rhizome's roots are completely covered by substrate then they may have rotted away, therefore the rhizome will no longer grow and will cease in producing petioles or leaves. If you want to save it you should remove the roots from the substrate and inspect the corms for rot. Remove any soft spots with a clean razor and try restarting it in an emersed state without substrate of anykind. you should allow the roots to bury themselves as they seek nutes.
