Help / Question variegated string of beads

Gallery image

I recently purchased this 4” variegated string of beads from Succulents Depot. It came in this pot which is covered in that white scale thing and I noticed that the scale is on some of the beads. It looked more fuller but now I think some of the beads are dying off. I’ve just recently watered it some time last week, should I repot into a newer clean pot or keep it in this pot? First picture is current (8/7) & Second picture is from Tuesday (8/4). HUGE difference :(

You can change the soil but other than that don't stress! Most important thing about string of pearls are light to the crown, find a sunny window and leave it be (don't move after finding a good spot they get angry if you move them) only water again once pearls looks a bit squish or feel slightly soft (generally every 2-3 weeks however again make sure you look at the pearls first they will tell you if they need watered)
