How are these roots? I looked at the roots for the first...

#StringOfPearls
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago
More info: When I first got it, it was from an outdoor festival during a downpour so she was soaked. I let it dry completely before watering again. After getting over swelling from the rain, the pearls were more deflated but not too bad. When I came back from the holidays she was quite thirsty, because my roommate forgot to give her water, but came back a little after a drink.
Overtime the pearls keep shrinking though and now are extremely deflated. No amount of watering seems to be working. I wait until the soil is dry before the next watering (usually around 2 weeks) after making the mistake of overcompensating and watering more often than that when I saw the shrinkage happening.

It's been about 5 months since my overwatering tirade, so I thought I'd see some improvement by now. Should I clip anything? Get a root stimulator? Repot in some different succulent soil? I'm not too sure now
