Hello! I got this SOP a couple months ago, and I think it needs a better pot – the one I set it in seems too deep (but please correct me if I’m wrong). New proposed pot is the last photo.
It looks like it’s almost time to water it – only 1 or 2 of the bigger pearls have the window slightly open. So my question is, do I water it, and then repot? Or repot and then water? Or water it and then wait a bit to repot?
I also want to chop the long string so what’s in the pot is fuller, but I read that I need to let the soil dry a bit before doing that, so I thought I’d repot first and do that part later, but again, please tell me if that’s a bad idea!
This is my 2nd attempt at a SOP, so please help me keep her alive! Any tips are much appreciated!

Your pot looks fine, you could repot if you’d like to. It really looks like you need more soil in the pot you’ve already got it planted in, though. I’d go for a mix of cactus/succulent/orchid soils, add some perlite, and pop her back in the same pot with the new soil and give her a nice drink of water. 💛
