One of the stems looks shriveled. Gently pinch it, if it feels 'squishy' remove it. If the main stem feels that way, at least at the bottom, then the whole plant is dead.If it still feels good all the way to the bottom, put it in the brightest, warmest place you can, keep it barely moist, and wait patiently for new shoots. It will take several more weeks to see any new growth.

Oh my gad that's great news!?! I'd lost hope. All the branches are rock hard, even the squishy looking one. They were squishy but I took him out of pot, kept all same soil around him, and wrapped him in news paper till he dried out.

I took the plunge to cut him back after first reply here, thanks for that. But no sign of shots after 3 weeks so moved to bathroom.

I'll put him in the front South facing window. Should I put the pot in a bucket of water for 30 mins once a week, or is that too much again? He was in a house with no heating in winter when I watered him, that's how he got over watered in first place
