# Hey!! First time String Of Pearls owner here🪴! I got it a few months…

_Posted by PlantMom829 on 2025-03-23_

Hey!! First time String Of Pearls owner here🪴! I got it a few months ago beautiful and long, but now the pearls are shriveling up towards the base 😱😭‼️ not sure if I'm over watering, under watering, too little sun or too cold (it's just starting to warm up where I live). Any and all advice on what to change/do to get her back to rocking would be appreciated.

SOPs like to be forgotten about, I give mine a splash of water every two weeks and have her in a southeast facing bay window in zone 9 🌞 if I look at her for too long she drops flowers immediately 🤣🤣

Gotcha, so I probably over watered her then 😭🤣 Thank you‼️
