# Anyone have any idea what’s going on with my string of pearls? Iv…

_Posted by Abby on 2024-02-21_

Anyone have any idea what’s going on with my string of pearls? Iv been watering like plants been directing me to aswell as making sure the soil is completely dry before I water, or I’ll snooze it. And googles giving me mixed results on weather it’s over or under watered. The pearls are soft and squishy and wrinkled. Tips would be appreciated!

They dimple when they are underwatered. Dont follow an apps schedule but rather use it as a reminder and gauge when to water it based on soil. For these guys when it fully dries out you water. When they first start showing the dimpling that’s also a good indicator to water. If they shrink up too much they won’t re-inflate.

Okay thank you! Should I completely drown them? They are completely dry and in terracotta pots

Every single time you water them, absolutely soak them through. Then let them dry out, and do the whole process again.
