Hi Craig,

I am sorry to hear that. But it has only been a few weeks. Pines take a long time before you actually know it is actually dead. I would not do anything to the pot if were you. Leave it for another while. I did ask the question about dying time -- you can find it here.

Good luck and Best regards.
