I just bought my very first String of Pearls and was very lazy. I should’ve went ahead and repotted it and took care of it but failed. I understand the roots are shallow and all. I have since watered it and put it outside. However, it’s hanging on with two healthy pearls left 🥺🙃 what should I do!?

I just lost my variegated string of pearls from shipping stress and the seller is sending me another one now. I feel like I’m taking care of a neonate baby compared to my other plants 😂

I’d love to help but I’ve killed 4.

Mines on its way out too. This would be the second one that I’ve killed 😩🩷🪴 but in my defense, I think it was overwatered from Home Depot because after just a few days of having it, they got mushy. I’m not sure what to do.

I put them in indirect sunlight. Water from underneath every few days.
