I saw the pics, the plant looks pretty good, a little off color on the leaves, so you never know how many roots are supporting the top. A stem that large can produce a good set of leaves that are feeding on the starch content of the stem without very many roots, so you never know sometimes. I'd go ahead and hit it with some fertilizer, but I don't think you need any special medium or have to add to what you have for soil.
