help ):
hello! this is my string of pearls! i’ve had her for over a year now. i found her at home depot while i was working there, she was actually gorgeous and healthy.
she is still in its original pot but hanging in a north facing window in my bathroom.
i water her with distilled water when the plant itself starts to feel really light. i sometimes alternate between bottom and top watering (never saw a difference between doing both) in a saucer until she can no longer take in anymore water.
(same method i use for all of my plants or if the leaves start to droop or curl)
i have been using liquid all purpose fertilizer as well just not as consistently as i probably should (life is lifing a little too hard) and only when i bottom water.
her soil is her original soil she was living in before i bought her.
note: these pictures were taken august 7th, 2026, so i have watered her since then i know she looks a bit dry in the pictures 😅
the advice i’ve followed so far since having her on how to take care of her and keep up with her appearance:
taking the stray vine of pearls and kinda loop it around the base and then mist it until the vines start growing into each other? essentially?
no tap water as she is way too sensitive to the tap water here.
my questions: should i repot her already? how do i go about it?
i know string of pearls do not handle repotting that well but i wanna do it the right way so she doesn’t give up on me 🥲
how do i make her look more…lush? more full? i see dozens of pictures of other string of pearls online and they’re humongous and long and so full looking and i wanna achieve that for my girl 🤎
dms are open, criticisms are open, all kinds of jokes are open. thank you so much for your time 🌹
