new SOP owner! looking for advice :3

#StringOfPearls
hi!! i just got her yesterday and i love her so much! i wanted to come on here to ask for any & all advice, here she is now on my bathroom window 😝 what kind/size of pot should i move her to? and what kind of soil is best? thanks! i wanted to keep her as a hanging plant
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago
I keep mine in what I believe is a 5.5 inch plastic hanging pot. It’s got plenty of drain holes, and in a low moisture soil mix. I’ve got it about 5 ft from an east facing window and I’m watering every 3-5 days (or anytime the pearls look more lemon shaped.) Don’t be afraid to chop off some dying growth, it’ll continue to grow right from that cut spot. If it starts looking sparse or leggy just plop the longer strands onto the top, nodes face down and they’ll root and grow more strands! Hope this helps and good luck on your sop journey🩢
Oh P.S. make sure the top of the pot can see the sky if you’re going to hang itβ˜ΊοΈπŸ˜›
@br3nna @slayonium thank you both so much!! :D i just relocated her into a sunnier place so i hope that helps with the light issue!! (thank you for pointing that out to me D:) thankfully my room gets a lot of light with all the windows + sunroof so im hoping that it will be happier soon :3
this is where she is now :3 hope this is okay?
Not a big difference but this looks like a String of Raindrops. No big deal - same treatment for all of them… and there are many different varieties. All fabulous!
@Forbes57 Oh really?? 😭 I just got them from a plant shop the other day and they were labeled string of pearls so thanks for telling me!
