My SOP has started dying unexpectedly, help!

Question

I don’t even know what happend, one day only a few are dead the next it’s almost the plant! Any ideas as to what’s going on? #StringOfPearls #Dyingplant

Accepted Answer

These things are very prone to overwatering. Maybe see if you can save what’s left by propagating the healthy pearls

Answer

I agree with @Mabes - get some sphagnum moss and a to-go container and make yourself a prop box.  You can save those last few pearls.

Answer

Yeah it seems like it was overwatered.

Sending good juju to your plant! Hope the propagation goes well!

Answer

@sarahsalith Tell me more about the prop box?

Answer

@Yeeha234 I found a salad container and I melted holes in the top. I filled it with wet sphagnum moss that I rung out a bit (so it's still wet but not dripping). I have put cuttings, plants, soh leaves, sop Pearls, and odds and ends.

I put the top back on and put it under a light. I get roots on everything I want and I even get some volunteers from the sphagnum moss. (:
