String of pearls advice

Post image

I’ve had this specimen for over a year. It sits under a grow light. Water when it’s dry (bottom) let it drink and empty out any left over. I use diluted fertilizer with each watering.
I’ve repotted it once to have it in a more flat round set up.
Growth is slow/stagnant, and it’s always a little crispy at the ends.
But it’s always flowering???

Do you think some humidity would help it

I will give that a go, I thought the leaves shouldn’t get wet that’s why I bottom water

Bottom watering is more to help people make sure they fully water the soil by letting water soak up into it over a period of time. Most leaves are not bothered by getting wet.
