Look at the soil, if it’s not at least 1/2 draining material: repot! 😭 Mine got root rot because I didn’t and they were wet. Good news is, they propagate easily. I did not loose the plant and it has been happy and thriving on a terracotta pot and under 12 hrs of grow lights.

Good luck they are pretty hard to take care of

Don’t overwater! And make sure it gets plenty of light. I’m excited for you! I love my string of pearls!
