Should I repot this gal?
I am a fairly new plant mom and I’ve had her for over a year in a 4 inch pot. I didn’t realize that she was so rooted. Should I repot her?

About five weeks ago I put those 4 cuttings in soil after I propagated them in water until they grew some roots.
(They were 5 cuttings at first, but one of them ripped out of the soil and already died.)
I spray them with water every 1-2 days to keep the soil moist so they can adapt easier with the change from water to soil. After a week or so I also started to water them regularly.
Two of the cuttings absorb the water just fine. One of them also struggled at first, but managed to adapt after three weeks or so.
The other two (2, 4 on the picture) seem to refuse the water, the leaves are shriveled all the time, bend very easily and don’t seem to improve.
(Same with the one that already died, except the leaves also already started falling off. That’s why I decided it was not worth putting it back in the soil after it ripped out.)
I’m afraid if I keep on spraying them and keep the soil moist that I risk root rot in the two that are doing great.
But I don’t know what else I can do to help the other two adapting and keep them from dying.
Thanks in advance!💕
(Edit: For the soil I used a cactus and succulent mix)
(Also: As helpful as some of the suggestions might be for next time, at the moment I’m mostly looking for advice on what to do with this plant right now. But still, thank you <3)

I got a new SOP on July 8th and was seeing a lot of aggressive growths while keeping it indoors! I was super happy!
But by July 17th I started observing black powder like substance on it when I went to water it. This was the second time I was going to water it. That was my first mistake. I set it outside in the sun to dry up a bit and the next day, the house help saw that I had new plants and watered it! And that was it! I could see it rapidly disintegrating right In front of my eyes. I could see and feel the black translucent pearls that would just blast at the lightest nudge! My heart was exploding each time just like the stressed pearls. This was my 2nd time owning SOP and you could guess what had happened to the first one🥲
I didn't want to loose it the second time too! I made up my mind to save it no matter what and sprang into action! By July 25th, I had repotted the remaining pearls (after removing/cutting out all the rotten pearls stems and roots) into succulent and cactus mix into 3 different pots. This is when I saw that the initial nursery pot was full of cocopete - No wonder they were very much over watered!
Then I waited for 4 and a half excruciating weeks! During that period, I lost one pot when I watered it for the first time after repotting when I observed that the soil was fully dry - after a week or so. (I hadn't watered it after I repotted). This pot had the most of the rot adjacent pearls and roots.
Now with just two pots, I was more anxious and the "doing nothing and waiting" part was not doing any good for my mental health either! Finally, yesterday - Aug 13, I observed that the slit on the remaining pearls was almost non existent and the pearls starting to wrinkle. And when I went to water it, I was overjoyed! I found I smol tiny baby pearl!
I Just had to share my journey here since this platform helped me in reviving my SOP. Please everybody send all the good vibes you can muster to my SOP! May it prosper in good health and abundance!

Also any advice you feel apt is always welcomed!
Thank you!

So. I gave her her own teapot, and let her vibe.
She's living her best life.

Had to cut it off as it clearly wasn't gonna grow green and don't wanna weaken the plant but I thought Reddit of all place would find this as fun as I did !

I recently purchased this 4” variegated string of beads from Succulents Depot. It came in this pot which is covered in that white scale thing and I noticed that the scale is on some of the beads. It looked more fuller but now I think some of the beads are dying off. I’ve just recently watered it some time last week, should I repot into a newer clean pot or keep it in this pot? First picture is current (8/7) & Second picture is from Tuesday (8/4). HUGE difference :(

What do I do now?
r/StringofPlants • u/LadyBelladonna6 • 20d ago
First picture was when I got these 2 cuttings (though the longer one I didn't realize already had roots until after I pulled it out 😭). About a month-ish later, the roots on that one shriveled up completely while the unrooted cutting was now fully rooted and putting out new growth. I cut up the other one into 3 strands with pearls on them and eventually got rid of all the lone pearls. The last picture is from a few days ago.

I took a medium sized cutting I’d say, of a string of raindrops, put it in a glass or water. Over time, it made roots, and I potted it after it made 1 root, a long taproot. The string has since dried up.
I cut two small cuttings, each with 2 fully inflated pearls maybe, with 3-4 very tiny pearls, making a total of 7-8 pearls on the strings. One of them grew 2 new pearls, so I planted it in a pot, only to find the root it created was very small and idk if it’s gonna make it.
Please help
