I would give it a repot to get rid of dead pearls and to make sure they aren’t in the soil too. throughly rinse the plant to get rid of any you can see and then spray with alcohol, dish soap and water to kill anything you don’t see and isolate it. You can also take some props just in case. Then wash your self thoroughly and check all ur other plants and maybe give everything that was near it a lil treatment just to be safe.
