plant-care Overwintered plant problems

Some of the stems on these plants are losing all their leaves and changing from green to yellow to brown... other stems on the same plants are healthy and green. Any ideas? I hope I can save these plants.

My suggestion would be to cut back on the dead stuff, but leave enough green growth and leaves for the photosynthesis thing to keep doing its trick.  And don't over-water.

It's normal..it is choosing what part to die off and heal putting the energy into the new growth and green branches.  It should be just fine.
