You need to read my article in my most asked questions section in my linked website about offsets and you will understand what needs to be done. It is possible for your plant to die if it has lots of leaves and no roots. If you really have NO roots, I would cut the leaves off and put in the soil something like triple super phosphate (0-46-0) and that will stimulate more root growth. Naything like that with a big middle number is good. If you wanted to use a water soluble, you could wet the stem with it to see if that helps because you really wouldn't have all that many roots to take in a granular fertilizer.
