    I don’t think they are, but I have also killed two Zz plants. 🤣 Just let them completely dry before you water. I also found mine to better in shallow pots as their root system isn’t very deep.

    Do not and I mean do not water them unless the pearls are starting to shrivel a little. And bottom water is always the way to go

    They need a WELL draining soil mix like almost one drop makes it through to the bottom type of deal (overdramatized but still) they do not like lots of water mines been stuck in a high moisture environment for weeks and still recovering. They need top lighting as well. The only thing that’s good about these is how easy propagation is. The rest is a mess.

    I have had the worst luck with string of pearls! Trying to bring mine back from the dead. They are very picky. Good luck. :)

    My only issue with pearls was not repotting right away. The soil was so dense, that the roots rotted. Good thing is they are very resilient, so I just placed them in new soil and a terracota pot and they’ve been happy ever since. I use 1/2 soil 1/2 pumice stones. I top water with regular water. They are under grow lights son they are nice and full on top
