I’m trying to get better at caring for string of pearls, can someone please tell me if this is ready to be watered or if I should wait longer?

It needs water. I think this is maybe a little too far. They are hard to judge. If you look closely at the individual pearls, you will see a little “window”. When that “window” is closed, it time to water.

I highly suggest a shallow pot and high grit succulent soil. Their roots are extremely shallow.
