Ugh, I am done with string of pearls lol, for the life of me I can’t keep one alive. Just when I think I have a system down for it, it just kaputs on me after a month and almost dies. I’m just going to forget about it and let nature take its course lol. 🫡

Never been interested in them but then my 6 yo saw one and fell in love so it had to come home with us … my assumption is that I will kill it eventually. I don’t understand how they don’t rot out all the time the way the strands just lie on the soil surface. Anyways … here’s hoping yours surprises you and springs back to life!

Aww yeah, thank you, I hope yours does well for you and your 6 yo and loves its new home. Right? Their roots are so spindly and delicate that it takes almost nothing for it to rot
