Your pictures look like the roots were well protected so give them some water and keep an eye on them.

Should I cut off all the brown parts? That's the entire plant, actually. We get a very decent amt of rain here, or have for a few months. And more is forecast for two days this week.

I also agree to hang on a bit. I had several in grown that never came back 2 years ago. However, a couple still do try and creep back. I gave my Mom some and hers as in pots and they survived the cold winters.

If mine come back, I might dig them up and keep them as houseplants.

Cut off all the dead and brown foliage. I can almost guarantee you the plant will come back.

Cast Iron Plant is pretty late to send up new growth in the spring after a normal winter. Expect a delay this year. I had a gorgeous stand of 3-foot tall clumps that were burned badly by 0 degrees in January in Atlanta. I have cut the leaves off and anxiously await new growth some time in May.
