Sounds like you already know what's wrong with it! It is dehydrated because it has no roots. Spag n bag this guy.

I like seaweed for getting new roots started.

Looks like you've got your work cut out for you. Hope it recovers and takes off. Probably it will.

something like that I toss in a bucket of water for a few days and then pot...the whole plant will absorb some water....trim it up then pot it....I have left plants in a bucket for months with no bad effect, they even bloomed for me, lol....I just didn't have time to mess with them and forgot about them! duhhh!
