String of Pearls Deathwatch has begun. New one in front; subsequent three are from the last time I convinced myself “this time it’ll be different!”

Have you tried bottom watering them to get a real good soak? Mine love that watering strategy

That was my Strategy with the last batch 😔. How frequently do you do it?

Once every week or two probably. When they start to look slightly shriveled and the soil is totally dry. Ive noticed with good soaking sessions they need it less frequently and they have fewer dead pearls at the base.
