Help! SOP looks sad
My beautiful #StringOfPearls is starting to look sad. I was hit with meale bugs but I cleaned them off and sprayed neem oil and plant-safe pesticide.
Since then they have looked like this π
Any advice to revive or safe them?

Remove the yellowed leaves and determine whether the stems are in good shape. If they are, lay the stems, along with some of the healthy leaves on the soil, winding it around so that the nodes are close to the soil. You can sprinkle some soil on top of the bare stems to encourage roots to form. Donβt overwater, but spray the soil if it looks to be too dry.
If the stems are not in good shape and have rotted, you can start new plants with the healthy leaves and stem. As suggested above, lay the cutting on succulent soil and spray with water. You donβt have to lay the whole stem, but youβll have a fuller pot the more nodes are on the soil. Then, I would put the container or pot with your cuttings in a clear plastic bag to create a mini humidity chamber. Sunlight should be bright, but not direct sunlight. Open the bag daily for a few hours to air, especially if you see a lot of condensation. You can increase the airing, then do away with the bag when you have good root formation and new growth. I found this method of propagation the most successful when trying to propagate String of Pearls.
