# Okay I need help just got this string of pearls a week ago and some…

_Posted by Plant grow please on 2026-06-30_

Okay I need help just got this string of pearls a week ago and some of the pearls are becoming wrinkly and soft, but not the ones on the top, only the little strings coming off the pot I put a skewer in the dirt and it came out with dirt on it. This guy has a grow light and get some natural sun. Not sure what is going on any advise will help thank you!

Exclusively bottom water, never water from the top. Let the soil completely dry out before watering again. Give it lots of direct sun. I tuck my pearls away where I don’t see it much so I’m not tempted to mess with them.
