Just lay all your string and single turtle leaves on perlite they’ll all root super fast. Even on soil they root super fast. Each leaf will start a string

Turtle advice- I'd remove the flowers and then gently wrap the hanging strands around inside pot and pin down. Give high humidity and they should start to root. Occasionally water and ignore 🤞🤞

I bought a string of turtles yesterday that looked really good, and then when I got home and checked closer I found a similar situation to yours! There were also blooms which is why I thought it was a healthy plant but the momma was BALD lol... I propagated all the separate strings tho, some in soil and some in sphag, so if that will root I'll basically have 2 plants for the price of one

It's so weird when people have difficulties with different plants.

Crazy bc you could tell me what you're doing with your fern and I could tell you exactly what I'm doing with my scindapsus and it would probably not change our problems. Good luck with your scindapsus, well all of your plants.

Girl, I struggled with mine, and thought they were dead, so I just took ‘general’ care of them, and almost forgot about them, and they started growing and doing well. I don’t know how that happened, but yes, shallow pot for sure (I made mine from polymer clay) and it’s been doing fine in a shaded south window. I only water when totally dry, and ‘pretend it doesn’t exist.’ That’s been the best method for me 😂

It’s the first time I’ve grown corms and it was exciting putting a three leafed little baby into her new pot, especially after being scared I’d lost the plant for good. I also had black velvet corms potted up and just plopped my green velvet (not trying to attempt michiz scientific name :,) ) and a regular dragon scale alo corm into perlite a few days back. It’s the wrong time of year (autumn) but I can’t help myself and I hope my plants don’t slow down too much!

For the string of turtles, I have mine in a 2.5” shallow pot which I think it helping (mine is small in size still) but having said that, I’ve seen others keep theirs in the nursery pot so I think other conditions can sway which works better for yours. I’ve seen Sam @ houseplusplant alternate between watering deeply and then watering just the top inch in between the full watering. Sam said it helps the shallow roots stay moist while the rest of the soil is drying out. But I think yours is making a great comeback! That’s how mine started and it’s been good ever since I started seeing new growth! You got this!
