How do you #stringofpearls?

Hey #greggang πŸ‘‹πŸΌ
My "prop" #variegatedstringofpearls is probably ready for an upgrade. The roots are cruising out of the drainage holes and this one strand is so, so long!

I'm undecided about what pot I want her to go in. My regular one is in a white pot but that doesn't seem right here.

Could you show me photos of your strings below so I have some inspiration?

Pearly has grown and since this picture I actually wrapped some of her long strands around in the pot to fill it out more
@KDkat3 omg πŸ₯Ή

Yeah, I figure I'll do some wrapping once I up pot, but right now the strand is so heavy it keeps getting pulled out because I can't wrap enough to anchor and don't have room for Bobby pins πŸ˜‚
@PlantMompy get a face pot so it looks like locks of hair 😁 I just think it’s too cute not to. Before this pot it was in a cat planter which was cute too.
I have my hearts in a hanging basket
Ask @sarahsalith ...she just looooooooves SOP! 🀭😎

My strings are all relatively young, but I πŸ’• the face pots. They all have drainage holes, and sit in a east facing window. I bottom water, and also top water with a plastic β€œmodel syringe”.
Just good ole terracotta, but I ❀️ her #StringOfPearls
Dang, @debbiedo! That's incredible!
@debbiedo I'm leaning toward terracotta, too. Of course the PERFECT pot is one that's sold out and I apparently didn't stock up enough because I've used all the ones I had πŸ˜‚
@PlantMompy and the fact that it’s sold out makes it even MORE perfect! 🀣
Heyyy! I have a new one and I need help! 8015481313, please reach out to me my fellow humans.πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½
@Captaingreenbud I see it in your oasis! What's going on with it?
Mine is brand new, but I love it!
@PlantMompy call or shoot a text pleaseπŸ™πŸ½
Wondering frequeny & how you all water your beautiful string of pearls? New to this plant & mine is not happy. Thinning & the roots are not happy. Help!
@FancierCamellia I always bottom water and err on the side of too dry vs too wet. It's best to water when almost dried out.

Strings tend to be really polarizing, either you find them easy or impossible and there doesn't seem to be much middle ground πŸ˜‚
