Hello jrat!

Daisy gave good recommendations. I would do the same if it were mine. I don't grow mine indoors though, it has always been outdoors. A nice haircut will do wonders for it, and just put a dab of cinnamon on the cut off parts to help dry out and heal.

The only different thing I do is never drench the leaves, I just remove the leaves that are ugly. It will eventually grow it back. Give it time. Growing mine outdoors, I can allow it be rained on, since there is constant air movement so the plant dries out faster too. Indoors it will just invite more rotting if you drench the plant.

I do not know where your location is, so if it is really too cold outside like below 40F and lower, position it indoors to the sunniest side of the room. Water sparingly. Plant should bounce back slowly. Oftentimes, the plant will also slowly drop the older, lower leaves, which is a normal phase and as it adjusts its needs to what it can only sustain. As long as new leaves are sprouting at the center of the rosettes, plant will endure. When your temps/weather is much better, consider slowly bringing it outdoors. It thrives much better outdoors.
