    The soil looks swampy in your pics - check for root rot. They thrive in full sun, so hopefully you have some good exposure which also helps dry out your soil faster. Otherwise your next best bet is a grow light and watering only when the pearls start to pucker slightly.

    Oh no:( I feel your pain! I’ve lost 4 of these cute guys already (never lived more than a few months, sorry pearls!), and I got a new I finally kept alive for half a yr, and look healthier compared to my past poor ones. What I did -> now: Watered regularly -> only water if the beads feel squishy (Planta app has really helped, especially to prevent me/family from overwatering lol) Terracotta pot -> clear thick acrylic planter to monitor soil moisture and roots (thin plastic didn’t do that well somehow) Succulent soil mix -> succulent mix + orchid mix (better airflow) Light level dim -> window w/ morning light + grow light for a few hours after sunset Misting carelessly -> no misting, away from humidifier, humidity 40%-20% I live in extremely hot and dry climate, btw. So if you live in a humid location, you’ll probably water way less than I do and might need more light. I’m not sure what’s the best, but this is working so far🧋 Hope yours survive! I’ve been monitoring the heck out of mine everyday my family thinks I’m crazy but it’s because I don’t want to lose this one, I’m too invested now, in many ways lol Good luck!
