What’s happening to my string of pearls?, It gets moderate indirect light. I try to water it on time, not too much, not too little but the leaves are shriveling and drying out, I cut a few strings that have completed dried out leaves, but there are a few pearls visible for reference.

Since string of pearls is a succulent, you need to have it in cactus soil, which is potting soil added per light, sand and gravel. Your pot needs to have a hole at the bottom. You know when to water string of pearls because it has a little window in each pearl. When that window closes you know it’s time to water. Do not water itwhen those are open. When you do water, you need to soak it really really well so that water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Also, it needs some really bright light. I have mine in an east facing window and it does great.
Not too sure but it looks like some rot (black spot on the right side), it could just be the lighting. Either way repotting is the way to cheer this one up. Make sure the pot has good drainage. That’ll help a lot even if the soil isn’t the best.
Succulents are pretty hardy so no need to worry too much about transfer shock.
