Thanks for all the great information and recommendations everyone! I'm feeling SO much better about my little pups!
I went ahead and removed all dead material from both, trimmed the top a little to remove anything that would block fresh leaves from emerging, planted in 100% perlite, watered, and placed in full sun on my hot deck in mid-80's weather following Mondays cold front. Now the hard part... ignoring for the next 20 - 60 days...
Wish me luck!
