I have a variegated string of pearls that was doing good but I repotted her and may have over watered her at some point but she looks a little sad compared to what she was. š«£ any tips to bring her back to her former glory? š

Can you describe what you are seeing that is concerning you? For example, are they more deflated, not growing, etc? If it helps, it doesnāt look too bad to me.ā¤ļø
0 LikesThat is the cutest pot EVER!! Iām not sure but maybe the repotting just gave her a little shock and needs time to adjust to the new soil?

0 LikesOk, gotcha! So string of pearls are a succulent so they need a well draining soil like a cactus/succulent soil. What kind of soil are you using? How long were the roots when you repotted it recently? And did you go bigger, smaller, or stay the same on the new pot size? Sorry so many questions, trying to narrow down the culprit.š Also, I see it says they are 5 ft. from the window and no grow light? Is this still accurate? They like a lot of sun is why Iām asking. Can you think of any other changes other than new pot? Different location maybe? Lastly, how do you determine when to water them? Planta, dry soil, the way the leaves look, or a certain number of days?
2 LikesLetās see, I have a home made chunky soil mix that I use as a general potting mix. It drains really well and didnāt have issues with it for my succulent garden and string of hearts. Roots looked normal nice few inches root ball. the pot stayed the same size but I redid the soil as I mentioned before I overwatered her on accident and wanted to get it it out of the really wet soil. The location is still accurate it lives in my desk near a window that gets plenty of sunlight. I feel I was being too generous with how far it is from the window. Lol I donāt think Iāve really given it a drink of water since I repotted the last time. Planta usually recommends when to do it but Iāve skipped it last time. I usually wait till the pearls doesnāt look as plump but Iām also misting it every other day or so.
