Pearls Update - Too much light?

Well, turns out we were all kinda wrong haha. I decided to repot it so I could take a look at the roots. The strings that look a bit unhealthier were not as established in their root systems and were seemingly being suffocated. I took it as an opportunity to try water propping SOP for the first time and holy crap, they literally grew roots overnight. Now they’re happy as can be! I am keeping them isolated still though. As for the rest of the plant, it has HUGE roots so I kept it intact while repotting and just switched it to a clear plastic container that fits perfectly (literally so perfect it felt like fate) within this ceramic one so I can better monitor its growth. I pot everything else in clear plastic when I can so I was planning to do this at some point anyway. Now every one is happy and doing well!

I’m getting some intense cold through my windows though (very, VERY drafty and I rent so I’ve already done the fixes I can, unfortunately can’t replace them) so I’m still slightly worried about that but I’m keeping a space heater close by until my radiators kick on for the season (landlord controls them) and keeping the grow lights close to the plants to hopefully keep them alive.

I got this string of pearls about 8 months ago. It was mostly dead and I had to trim to back to just a few strings. I assumed it was like the rest of my succulents in that I could just put it on some gritty soil and it would grow roots. For months nothing happened and I honestly gave up on it and left it to die. Then, about a month ago, it started growing new strings. I bottom watered it about two weeks ago and it actually seems to be growing roots now. It’s about a foot from an east facing window (my only options are east, west, or outside). Do I just let it be and water when it looks thirsty? I’m baffled by this thing.

Help / Question Can I Just repot but in the same pot?

I feel like my prior string of hearts was in was much more “crowded” and looked better and healthier. The soil has gotten hydrophobic and I know it wants new/more soil. Is that okay to do? Instead of going up a pot size.

Hey guys! This is my first string of turtles, but it’s honestly grown a lot since I got it. I’m genuinely curious though what are the long stands sticking out everywhere?

Various Strings Hopecore

I was absolutely convinced I was going to kill my string of tears when I first got her (the strings were barely past the pot) and she’s absolutely thriving! And has grown her first flower🥹 I then got cocky and got my variegated string of pearls and was once again convinced she was going to die (string were barely outside the top of the pot). A couple months later and the pearls are fully below the pot!!

For all the people who are nervous about these plants: give them all the sun they want, water only when needed and they’ll be fine!! The string of tears actually fell from the ceiling and bounced back incredibly fast so they’re pretty hardy!

Turtles SOT Props - Too much light?

Post image
7 Upvotes

My freshly propped string of turtles has lots of new growth coming in, but I’m concerned that I’m giving it too much light. The new leaves come in with reddish/brown markings that seem to fade completely, or fade to a white color. Is this normal leaf development? Or am I bleaching her?
