hi jake, cut a few tips in places and see if it is still green in the wood. Not sure what season your in summer ?. It should have leaves then, dont water the soil to much or you will get root rot. Gently remove from pot dont touch roots see if they are wet, if they are leave it out for hour or so to dry a bit. If its okay and some green wood is still present you could try placing a clear plastic bagover it, cut the corner off. This creates a chance to recover, you need to mist twice a day too. Remember if there is little growth on top you dont water much, as the leaves take up the water.I suggest you do some reading on general care
