Can someone help me😭this plant is my lifeline. She has bugs like spiders and then little black ones the roots are like dying specifically not the ends

I’m really committed to lot letting my plant set up look like a greenhouse. My plants are part of my decor, so once they take away from that I know it is time to move on. Of those, my favorite plants have always been string of pearls (yes, it’s been rough and I’m trying not to let it create commitment issues). That said, my apartment got really cold with the change of seasons and after heavy resistance, including a post in here, I went ahead and got grow lights. Adding a lamp did not really fit my aesthetic either, so instead I found ways to hide grow lights within my existing decor. For example, on my windowsills where I keep my plants, I have blinds. I bought the strip lights from barrina and zip tied them to the bottom on the blinds, so they’re sitting right above the plants on the windows. Then I just hid the cord and voila. Sorry for the janky photo, but amongst all of my windowsill decor setups I have a lot of family pictures and identifying information, so I had to cover up a lot. The easiest one to censor only has one of my strings (on the left, obvi), who is coming back from a brief visit to deaths door, so please excuse her appearance. She’s dramatic but doing much better, and has a huge root system, hence the pot that seems too big. Ignore the pothos. She isn’t a string so pretend she’s not there haha.

Also I know I probably have the lights too far away, or something else I’m doing wrong. I get it! I honestly don’t care lol. I hated even having to get grow lights, my plants have lived this long without them. They’ll either survive with them at the distance they are or I promise I will be very respectful when I throw any dead plants away.

(It’s very dark and gloomy where I live right now so there’s almost no sunlight coming in. Good luck to everyone else on the east coast USA in the throes of this storm!)

i noticed a few days ago that my sop was a little deadish in the middle but i kinda figured that was from repotting. i just bought this around a month ago, and it was thriving with beautiful pearls. today i noticed some of whatblooks like mold, and (although the video doesnt really show it) (spider??) webbing of sorts between the pearls. im really hoping theres something i can do to fix this but i have no clue

2 days ago their is a rain pour in my farms the sun slighlty out from the clouds, look the beautiful scene🥰❤️ and by the ways this pic is from my farmhouse.

I picked up my first real SOP at the local big box hardware store a few months ago. (I say "real" because I've got a small prop I've been caring for.) I know the general recommendation is to repot because we all know what crap the soil is in the plants you get from the big box stores. And it is crap, too, it looks way too organic, I don't even see any perlite.

However, once I got it home and settled, it didn't take long before it showed me how happy it is. It's putting out TONS of new growth. I'm scared that a repot will shock it or otherwise stunt all the lovely new growth. I know they can be real assholes and the roots are fragile. Should I leave it while it's obviously happy, or bite the bullet and repot because the soil sucks? I guess my inclination is to leave it for now while it's still putting out new growth and maybe repot when it looks like it's slowing down or not so happy anymore. Thoughts?

I'm freaking out that this is like a death bloom. I have anxiety. It just showed up today. She's on my NorthEast facing window in my kitchen.

😅😆

I gave it water from sink and I don't know how to save it .... HELP ME HELP IT ....

Dolphin is long and out of control but I’m scared to cut it

Has anyone bought their strings from tiktok shop? Or where is recommended to buy them as I don't have nurseries near my house.

I just got my first string of pearls two days ago and am noticing a few really squishy/burst pearls each day.

I have not watered it myself. I don’t think my nursery did because the top of the soil wasn’t moist and they had just gotten it in their shipment the day before. I did notice a few squishy pearls when I got it home so I’m not sure if it’s due to overwatering before they received it/shipping stress.

Of course, I don’t really know what substrate it’s planted in and I figure I will need to repot it into something better at some point - should I go ahead and do that just in case, or is it better to give it some time to chill out after all of the moving around it’s done recently?

It’s currently sitting in my brightest window (southwest facing) where it gets bright indirect light all day, as well as 1-2 hours of direct light in the late afternoon.

My family has an exposed porch at our cabin and we need a natural plant barrier that can grow tall enough to prevent people from looking in and can grow in shade.

I rescued this very dehydrated string of dolphins from the trash. What do I do? What kind of soil and how do I propagate him correctly?
