The best chance of getting roots before the plant succumbs completely is in high humidity with moist (but never soggy) sphagnum around the base of the plant. Keep the plant immobilized so it doesn't flop around at all, and replace with fresh sphagnum every few months. Live sphagnum is even better.
Yes, I did not see that it was rootless. I thought the issue was "no new roots." I apologize.
