    wiseowl,

    might be ok if you cut off the manky looking bits.

    Or you should be able to take cuttings from the healthy bits and start a new plant again.

      No problem. :blue thumb:

      Personally, I would start again and root some cuttings.
      Wait a few weeks until the days are longer and the weather is warmer. And then cut a few "chains" of segments, leave to dry for a few days, and then re-root in fresh soil.
