I’ve had this pearl plant for a little while now and I thought they grew like crazy. Instead it seems like she’s minutes from death…any advice,

What I did with mine was freshened up the soil then wrapped the strings circular around inside the pot so they will root and fill the pot. Also, I water mine about once a week lightly bc they have shallow roots so I don’t want the soil to stay wet. Perlite and succulent soil is what I use and haven’t had any issues. Here a pic of them and now of mine.

Yes more water than a normal succulent. And they do better in shade in my opinion.
