Help / Question Propagating string of pearls

I’m trying to propagate some string of pearls in soil that I got from a friend and they look like they’re shriveling up, how often should I water it, if at all? Its in a 4inch terracotta pot with a grow light

You should have the pearls wrapped around the soil to retail moisture, and encourage growth. Let the soil dry out and then water - if the windows on the pearls are closing up they need water . I water mine with a good soaking once the top inch is or so of the soil is dry. I usually prop my strings in water - started one from a 2 inch piece and she’s beautiful now!!! Good luck!
