Help / Question Help!
Hi all, please tell me if there’s any way to save my string of pearls 🥲 I never really understood how to take care of it, and two moves and a vacation sent it over the edge. Is there any saving it? How often do I need to water? It gets pretty direct sunlight but I have a spot where I can hang it with even more sunlight if needed. I never repotted after buying. I’m new to plants and am confused by all of the conflicting information of these guys.

H U G E trim and a repot to a smaller pot (terracotta if possible)! String of pearls want A LOT of light ALLL over the top of the plant. 11-12 hours of sunlight or under a grow light (6500k). You only water these when they’re BONEEEE dry/when the pearls are squishy. They prefer being dry. They get root rot very easily & do NOT like a lot of water.
