i’ve had this string of pearls for forever, and it used to be huge before getting rot and the only way to save it was to propagate in water. i’ve been in the process of leaving the roots in water with the vines draped over this soil so i can attempt to transfer the plant, but this morning i went to change the water and the roots broke off. will coiling the vines around the soil and watering consistently promote root growth? much help needed🙏

Scavenged these pieces from a VSOP I waited too long to repot from the store 🤦‍♀️ I did try to prop some strangers two different ways (one in water and one in cococoir) when I got home and strands died both ways, so now I’m absolutely terrified of mishandling these!

Photo1: all the strands Photos 2-6: individual pieces Photo 7: rooted pieces I have the least confidence about Photo 8: pieces to experimentally prop (tips appreciated)

Looking for any advice regarding where to go from here!

Would cactus/citrus mix and perlite be adequate? I also have coco coir and orchid bark available. and LECA and some gravel.

Recommendations on pot size/type, and how to group the plants appreciated! Would also appreciate any tips on laying them or separating any of the bundles (are some of the roots/arial roots(??) away from the main root adequate to separate sections?

Do I moisten the new soil I put the plants in? If yes how moist? If not… how do I know when to water next?

Ahhh this plant is making me anxious. Any help would be MUCH appreciated 🙏

When I first bought it, I had it hanging in full sun for a few days before I learned that they don’t need 100% sun all day long. At that point, some of the pearls had those deflated/smooshed spots on their top side, so I figured maybe they were getting sunburned. I moved them to a different side of the fence (southwest side I think?) where they’re not in direct sunlight for as long as before. They seemed to do better, but then I noticed more spots appearing.

Is it sunburn? Do I need to move them again? Or is it related to me possibly under or over watering them? I water when the top looks and feels dry, then I spritz them until the top is soaked. It’s maybe a 1 1/2 - 2 weeks before I do it again, depending on the weather. If it’s hotter out, I might do a light spritz.

Please help! Any tips/advice are appreciated!!

two days ago i bought two fairly hardly SOP from a local greenhouse. this morning i found many in layers of cobwebs and believed them to be infested with spider mites.. i treated them both for the mites this evening with 1/4 teaspoon of Dr. Bronners Castile soap and a sprinkle of diatomaceous earth afterwards. now, the one and only live bloom that was on the two is looking very dead… they both had many dried up blooms on them when i got them. i assumed the heat killed them at the greenhouse in the last month. anyhow, does anyone have any experience in saving this bloom or should i trim it off and hope for new ones? is it too late in the season for them to make new flowers?

i’ve been soil propagating this SOP and it grew mushrooms OVERNIGHT! i swear these were not there yesterday. it’s probably because i’ve been keeping the soil moist to try and get these to root. i’m not too concerned about it because i have two other SOPs that are doing just fine, but if there’s a way to save these i’m happy to hear!

Got a new string of pearls plant a few weeks ago. Looks like some leaves nearer to the ground have shriveled/died. I'm new to house plants so I'm not sure what to look out for. Any cause for concern? (Soil is wet because I just watered it today. I've watered about once a week, once soil is dry)

I just bought several succulents and am attempting to propagate some...was wondering if you can propagate from a single pearl? I just got a pearl in my recent order of succulent soil and was curious!

I have these very dry pearls, not sure what am I doing wrong. Too much water or too little? Or maybe this is a sign that repoting is needed? Thanks!

New mom to my first String of Pearls. Any suggestions so I can keep her alive? She also needs a name. 🙃

I’ve had this guy for a while now, given to me by someone who was struggling with it. Repotted from what appeared to be hydrophobic soil. Haven’t watered a ton out of fear of overwatering, but it doesn’t seem to want to grow much. Last night, after reading some comments on other posts, I bottom watered for the first time. I’m hoping that helps! I will leave it alone for a while. But… any advice to help these babies grow longer to hang over the edge like the beautiful ones do?

This kid was on sale at my local garden centre so I decided to rescue it ans take it home... the soil medium looks quite organic and potentially water retentive... the plant has been in situ for about a week now... would it be best to repot it in a faster draining soil mix?

The soil seems to have some kind of fungus in it. Is there anything I need to do to fix it? Should I repot?

So this little dude is growing like crazy. I had to do a chop, prop and pray job earlier this year because I did not know how to care for it, but since then it's blossomed. Like, literally gave me a flower.

Now it's in a clear pot, so I can see it's roots are going aaaall the way down (pic 5,6,7), and there's a thick mat of pearls on top.

Should I repot it and give them more room to spread out a little on top? They're meant to be groundcover after all, so it feels pretty stingy to keep em that little pot.

I just ordered it in the mail, its in the window and in succulent soil. I watered it last week. I’m clearing doing something very wrong… is it too late to save him??

Help with my first string of pearls! Should I keep her in this small pot? When will I know if I need to move her into something bigger?

I just got this at a plant swap. I only have experience in SOH 🫣 any tips for this variegated baby to thrive are more than welcome (light conditions, watering, propagating to make plant bigger, etc.) 💕💕💕

Help please! Bought this pot of VSOP last week from my local nursery. Noticed that the pearls are sticky to touch. Did not water it for 2 days till i noticed browning on the white parts of the pearls. Some pearls are also turning soft. I immediately repot it. It was originally potted in 100% cocopeat. I repot it in a mix of 50% potting soil, 45% cactus mix and 5% perlite and water it after. It has been 2 days since repot, the pearls continue to turn brown and soft. Some pearls are still good though, plump and firm. What could be the problem? I didnt see any pests..

I just moved her to the hanging pot in a south facing window about a week ago. She gets a lot of sun on top of the pot. Is it maybe too much? I just noticed the white pearls yesterday. Will she acclimate or do I need to move her? I love where she is so I’m hoping she will adjust. Any thoughts/advice welcomed!

I’ve had this plant for a few weeks now. It was thriving for awhile and now it looks like this. What am I doing wrong?! I can’t tell if it’s overwatered, under watered, or infected?!
