I've been trying to get the soil dried out - daughter brought it home a week ago, and it was waterlogged. She kept the plant too close to her radiator since December 1. By Feb. 15, all the little branches were dry and brown and brittle. I might look for a replacement and let her believe she didn't kill it... thanks for the suggestions. I've kept clipping in search of signs of life, but it's all dry and brown. Poor little tree.
