help save my fig

I have a black mission cutting that I have rooted in water for over a year, not knowing when to take it out it just kept getting bigger roots and bigger ones. I planted it dec 18 and since then the fig has only gone down hill, during this time he had mites, which was confirmed, and treated for. However, he has lost his terminal bud and refuses to put new leaves out, he did have full leaves when he was in water. He has also just gotten little tan small six legged creatures that appear to my knowledge to me spider mites, though they are coming up from the soil. I need help, I just unpotted him to look at his roots and the appear not to be any new ones rather are little white dots on all his roots but that may be just the soil. His trunk is wrinkly or shriveling like as well. He is now out of the potting soil and back in water. Thoughts please, is there any way to save my poor fig?

I have pictures but don't know how to post them.
