fear of over watering string of pearls!

Hello,

I am very worried I've over watered my string of pearls and don't know what to do. I used to mist it which I am now learning is improper, I also watered it a reasonable amount because I was worried it was dry but now I fear the opposite! The bottom looks okay, but I fear the rotting will continue down. Is there anything I can do?

Answer
Melissa,

You are right to be worried. I would try to propagate the healthy parts and the following website has excellent instructions and a video on how to do it. I would add that you should mix potting soil and sand 50/50 for good drainage. Also keep the plant in the sunniest location possible.

Good luck!
