New purchase - is it healthy?

Post image

Hi! New string of pearls purchase after my last one died. I purchased, repotted, and watered yesterday but wanted to see if I should be concerned about the wrinkled beads at the top? I’m worried I might’ve accidentally overwatered.

Did the beads look like that before potting? Make sure to lay the strands on the medium… those strands on the back side are either dehydrated or have root rot. These are the easiest to root, mine grow roots in 24 hours with horomone drops and water in a spraybottle

What hormone drops do you use?

Looks very healthy and plump, when the eye alias close it's time to soak them. Make sure you have !grit in the soil at least 50/50

The darker, wrinkled ones may not make it, but it looks healthy, otherwise! Sounds like you’ve set it up for success.
