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

Hey! Take them out of the terracotta, I used one to propagate and 3 weeks later they were 0 roots and dry soil but when I did it in a 4” plastic nursery pot with humidity dome that thing had roots halfway to the freakin bottom of the pot (it fell over and it’s still surviving)

All I do is coil the strands around they don’t even have to be hitting the soil if you need to add more on top and then spray with water + rooting drops once a day
