You could propagate it in water or perlite. Personally, I would recommend perlite for something that already has roots. Gently wash the roots off with some room temp water and a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide, gently dry it with a paper towel to remove as much of the soil as you can, fill a small cup/pot with perlite and water the perlite, then let the water drain from the pot. Add water to the perlite every 2-3 days depending on when it starts to dry out, and check every 1-2 weeks for growth. Hope this helps!

No problem! As long as the roots are firm and healthy, you might be able to bring it back. It just might take some time. Try placing it in a bright windowsill during the process.
