Just bought this SOB, first (of MANY MORE) string Iāve had the please of owning. He came in this little decorative pot, I was thinking of repotting him tomorrow but worried he might be a little dramatic. Any thoughts? (Sorry about the tat, couldnāt find a better way to take the pic with the whole plant š )
I have a string of dolphins and string of pearlsā¦ I had trouble after adding new soil and watering for the first time after buying. Lost half of the foliage! Not sure why. My string of turtles and string of frogs are growing great though! No issues after repotting and watering
1 Like Thank you for the advice! I havenāt watered her yet, and I think Iāll wait a few days, she seems to be doing okay in the pot sheās in, so Iāll leave her, just didnāt wanna risk root rot. Iām not sure there are drainage holes in the pot sheās in.

Itās best to wait to repot after first getting a new plant as transitioning to a new environment is stressful for a plant as is repotting, so you want to give it time to acclimate before inflicting another stress on it. I wait a minimum of 2 weeks before repotting. You also want to isolate new plants away from any others incase any pests have come with it.
3 Likes Thank you so much!! Sheās seems to be happy enough in the pot sheās in, I was just worried about root rot. Iām not sure the pot that sheās in has drainage holes, so thatās the only reason I was gonna repot her!
