For reference, this is boswellia sacra and has no roots at all. I out some rooting powder on it and stuck it in some moist soil, but then decided to just pull it out and ask for some advice. What kind of environment should it be in to develop roots and how much water does it need?

I’d ditch the mulch, go with a more inorganic mix and be patient.
Boswellias can take some time to wake up after shipping shock. Mine took about 3-4 months before showing any growth. I just put them in a 50:50 pumice:organic mix and place them in a warm and bright shaded spot until they grow some leaves. I would remove those wood chips. They can get moldy pretty quick and increase the risk of rot, especially in dormant plants.
