I'm sorry It looks dead to me. If that was two weeks ago, there isn't much hope now. That reverse taper at the soilline is not encouraging, nor the orange peel texture of the bark. You wrote that it's still green when you do the Scratch test?

What you would hope to see, as I wrote:

You could also slip it out of the pot and inspect and smell the soil. Be careful, because if the roots are rotten, it may completely fall apart. Healthy root tips are white for most species.
Sorry about this, but I don't believe it matters what you do at this point. Don't give up though. Everyone loses a couple, sooner or later. Sounds like this one wasn't your fault.

Regards,

Matt
