When is the best time to water string of pearls? Is this balding due to overwatering or under-watering?

This kinda looks like rot to me, caused by too much water. They have really shallow root systems \& need quite a bit of light.

I would cut everything you see that’s still green \& lay it over fresh soil. It will grow roots from the nodes on the stem.

Will do!
