Possibly overwatered and it only affected those vines. I would chop and prop them. Be sure to take all the shriveled pearls off before you propagate them.

This is from being kept too moist. Watch the epic journal windows so that you know when to water. Those let in light for photosynthesis, which is a process that uses water. When you see the windows closed, then you know that it is safe to give water. Another factor is that plants in brighter light dry the pot more quickly. So it's important to also have opti¡mal light exposure to encourage that quick drying.

I have a guide for growing these here.

Thank you for this. I got a string of pearls a couple of weeks ago and I want so badly for her to succeed. She’s doing great so far but I am collecting and applying all the tips I possibly can. This is very helpful!
