First time with a ‘string’ plant, would LOVE any healthy tips and tricks, got her today and she was overwatered, so immediately reported into more smaller and not as deep of a pot

They seem to be pretty easy to take care of. I’ve had mine a couple of weeks and he’s happy so fingers crossed!

Have you watered it yet?

#### Miss K antwortete am 2024-05-16

I watered it when I got it home as part of my debugging lol but it’s still at a 3 ish on the moisture reader so not yet. The brown stuff is cinnamon 😁

I think most of the “string of” plants will tell you when they want water. For instance, I think the flat ones like turtles and hearts, you can do the “taco test” to see if you can gently fold the leaf (pretty far but don’t crease it). If you can, it wants water. I think the plumper ones start to shrivel a bit when they want watered?

I watered mine when it was completely dry and it was nice and full, and grew beautifully for over a year! (I sold it due to having too many plants)
