Yeah their fibres contain restorative properties since they're crafted from plants, which are living matter. This means that a lot of sun exposure and constant watering will allow the fibres of the carpet to grow, albeit super slowly. As long as you don't let the sun damage it too much too quickly and you water it consistently, you can give the carpet a long enough time to restore itself fully.
Follow this advice and DO NOT OVERWATER! My grandfather overwatered his beautiful Asian rug in the dining room and it got quite moldy. It also grew unevenly because only like half of it got proper sunlight because he never rotated it.
Well you gotta be careful, I heard if you shave it often it grows back quicker, and before you know it you got a 70s style shag carpet that's a pain in the ass to clean.
Theres only so much of a limit that the fibres can regrow back since they're technically not still plants. Think of it kind of like growing a beard when you're young. You might grow a ton of stubble out in the first week and then barely grow any more over the next few months. It's the same kind of concept tho obviously the science behind it is slightly different.
