My question is, will sphagnum help it grow new roots? Ordinarily, I'd put it in bark, but since the roots are so sickly, I was wondering if sphagnum would be better.

I would put it in the smallest pot possible. This may mean setting the little pot in a big one to it doesn't tip over. And I would use sphag moss. Don't pack it in to tight though or it will get suffocated. Hope that helps.
