If, by pigmy plant, you mean Pygmy Palm, the proper name for which is Phoenix roebelenii, yes, cut off the dead leaves at the base. If the green 'spike' is in the centre of the plant, then the growing point has been protected and it will recover during the summer.

Well, the fact there's any green at all is very hopeful!
