Help!! I have had this string of dolphins for a while now. It has been getting bright indirect sunlight and I moved it under a grow light for 12 hours a day a few days ago. I have given it succulent food as well. But I don’t know what’s wrong with it. It was all green and fine 4 days ago, and now it looks like this. 🙁 Any advice is appreciated!
Could you have possibly overwatered?

If you only just moved it to the grow light just give it time — that was the issue. These want lots of light, and need to have well draining soil. So maybe a new pot, too

Does your little pot have drainage? I would cut off the rot, stick the good parts back in well-draining soil after letting the ends callus for a day or 2. They should bounce back. Err on the side of less water/less fertilizer.

2개 좋아요 The drainage will help a lot. Let the soil dry up and lets us know how it goes. It doesn’t hurt to pull off rotted parts.

Soil looks really dry. If it were me, I would rehab it by moving it into water to grow new roots and repot it after some time. I have a string of pearls I’ve been growing in water for awhile, very low maintenance.

0개 좋아요 You pull off the dolphins from the first 2-3 inches or so from where you cut the stems, and place it in water. Since the plant currently has no roots, it will modulate how much water it takes in, no chance of overwatering.
