I have a string of turtles and have heard string of pears is similar in care. I bottom water my SOT and wait for the soil to go 100% dry in between watering. Some recomend to wait until the pearls are a little soft/wrinkly before watering. My turtles also like loads of bright light as they’re a succulent. Good luck with your new pearls

I completely agree with the above comment, and I want to add that these need extremely bright light and should be in a chunky soil mix
