Might be sun burn. My string of turtles couldn’t take direct sun and many of the leaves turned brown.

It looks like sunburn. Delicate little fellows aren’t they? #SOP #StringOfPearls #StringOfTearDrops

Kris, do you have a bright spot that doesn't get direct light that you can let it sit for a month or so undisturbed?

@kris10nicolee yes- try that. Your porch gets bright light. Also, if you have a southern or western window, you could put the plant to the side of the window.

You can put your pot of turtles in a bright, indirect light. And let them rest. All the leaves that still look good can go in a prop box! I'll show you. Just a minute.

So, I had a salad box and I melted holes in the top. I put damp sphagnum moss inside and I toss leaves and SOP and SOT and whatever in there.

Looks like sunburn to me. Same thing happened to mine when I first got it and put it in full direct some. They do better when not in strong afternoon sun in my experience
