I just bought this string of pearls a month ago and it was so lush and beautiful 🥲 Fast forward to last week I left it for a week when I left for Thanksgiving and came back to this.
Any tips on salvaging or theories for what might have happened? It does hang out next to a window and temps dropped rapidly but it was still indoors 🙁

Have u repotted it since getting it or still in same soil it was purchased in?
Chop & Prop!
Find yourself a large but shallow pot with drainage. Get some reallyyy chunky potting mix made for succulents. Cut the strands off so you only have what’s green and still alive. Coil the strands in the pot and pin them down if you need to. Keep the soil moist regularly at first to encourage root growth, after roots establish only water it when the pearls look deflated and give it a good soak when you do, preferably bottom watering.
Hi! Don’t worry. They look pretty good still. I made a [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/StringofPlants/s/yyPfjCxtgu) on how I saved my SOP. You can do it ✊🏻
