My string of turtles started doing poorly and in an effort to repot, a lot of it fell apart. I ended up put the strands on a tray inside a plastic bag and some in a small pot with a dome lid. Both seem to be thriving in the greenhouse set up.

Any tips on how to move them into a set up where they can hang and not be trapped in a ziploc??

I have no clue so if I’m wrong someone please correct me but if they are still alive I would imagine they have grown some roots which means they probably won’t be able to hang anymore? Like I said not for sure the closest thing I’ve ever had was my string of pearls and that plant LOVED to root
