Asparagus Plumosis dying!

Hey y'all,  

I have discovered some mealy bugs on my new Asparagus Plumosis plant, and so I had to treat (spray and water) it with some isopropyl alcohol 70°. I usually use alcohol on cacti and succulents, and it works fine BUT the Asparagus is now looking very yellow and dry. Is it dying or is there anything I can do to save it? 

 Thanks.image

    There look to be only 2 or 3 brown stems. Remove those, it will look better,  and keep it fed and watered - stems do go brown if they get too dry.

    Unfortunately, as of yesterday, all the branches went yellow/brown. And I did water it like a week ago, the soil is still wet. I guess I can't really do anything to keep this plant alive, can I? image
