Sometimes you don’t need to repot you just need soil on top to replace from erosion. When the nodes touch soil you can get new roots and more new growth and eventually a fuller top which will spill out and trail downward

So you just add soil, and go about your normal business? It doesn’t rot what gets covered?
Interesting. I have a very bare one. Maybe I should try this on it.
I never thought about this after having retired several to the SOP graveyard. I just bought two more. This will come in handy!
Thanks. Love a good visual!!
yours look healthy so i dont doubt you one bit
Thank you for this post! But I have to ask, did you see me repotting mine today or something?!?! 🤣
But question. It has been impossible to repot these and come out pretty. It always looks weird on top with the soil seeming too overwhelming covering the pearls, no matter what I did. I figured it’s not that big of a deal bc it’ll grow into everything. But I also felt like it was commuting a sin😆 However, and maybe it’s a problem from when I get a new one from a store, I would notice if I watered, even trying to not drench the pearls, the soil being wet even under 24 hrs and the parts touching the soil rot. How do you go about watering and having the soil up to the brim. Like photo two.
has any one tried this with a string of hearts? I was just wondering about this the other day looking at mine
I need to repot my string of pearls, but it’s not bare on the top at all. It’s extremely full. How does it end up bare? Mine is in pon in a self watering pot, but it drains the reservoir super fast.
You guys don’t just wrap the string of pearls around the inside of the pot? I started mine that way, and they eventually filled in and started spilling out.
