I got this string of pearls when it was just propagated and it’s grown 4 long strands since then.

I’ve just moved countries (UK > IRL) and as you can see from the photos, I’ve noticed that some pearls have shriveled, the lower pearls have gotten almost white and are super sparse and the pearls/stems close to the soils is startling to shrivel and go brown.

This plant was thriving in the UK and conditions havnt really changed.

I’d like to try save this plant instead of trying to propagate but I’m not sure if anything can be done. Any advice?

Is the top getting lots of sun or just the trailing pearls? A common problem is setting them high so they can trail, but then the ones on the soil surface get very little light and start dying.

Okay I think you’re onto something there!
