Hi,
I must admit I don't really know much about plants. My Begonia died and it seems my Euphorbia Enopla is going that way too, now.
It was a Christmas present, and I decided to assume it had been watered recently, so I waited a week before watering it for the first time. Since then, I've watered it once every two weeks. It started to look a little wilted say two weeks ago, so I've watered it more frequently since then. The other day I watered it quite a bit more than normal in an attempt to save it. But today, it looks like this:

Is it possible I've over watered it? Does it look like it can be saved?
In case it's relevent, I live in England but the plant is kept indoors, away from direct sunlight. Oh, and the soil has gravel stuck on it (it came that way), so I can't check for moistness, etc...
Thank you in advance for any help

I've since taken the gravel off - but it turned out that the pot was mainly filled with stones, and there was a small amount of (moist) soil around what I assume was a mass of roots. I've since put it into a larger pot I kept my Begonia in before with the soil still in there (which was very dry) and in front of the window. I assume I shouldn't give it any more water for a while then?
It has gotten worse since I posted that picture... do you think it will pull through? I read something saying if you stuck something sharp in it and liquid came out then it's alive; I did this a couple of times and did find a bit where it leaked moisture... So I assume it's still alive?
Oh, should I cut the really dead-looking 'branches' off or leave it alone?
