Is my string of tears sick? 🥺
Hello and good morning #greggang!
I arrived from a weekend getaway and yesterday was watering day for Elina, so while inspecting the leafs, I saw this 🥺 the soil looked very dry, so it can't really be overwatering, I think. I though she was very thirsthy from the looks of it, but this morning the problem still persists.
She does have a lot of new babies and the leafs seem very healthy and sprouting new leafs...
What should I do? #help #succulentsquad #stringoftears @RJG #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

The String of Teardrops does best in partial shade or indirect bright light rather than in the full direct sunlight. As a houseplant, it does well in an east-facing or west-facing sunny window. It might not. It might getting enough light.
The String of Tears plants need to be watered once a week or every two weeks. This Senecio plant should only be watered when the soil is dry. The best way to check if String of Tears needs to be watered is by feeling the soil.

@ElderWasabi I just seen this too. You might be dealing with pests. @sarahsalith what do you think it is. Do you think she can just use rubbing alcohol and a qtip?
The plant looks large for a 2” pot. Is it root bound?
