Rescuing a Rotted String‑of‑Beads (Senecio rowleyanus)

If the stems at soil level are brown and brittle, don't repot the whole plant. Instead, clip off healthy green strands, dip the cut ends in rooting hormone, and lay them on damp cactus/succulent mix in a sunny window. Water sparingly. They'll root from the beads that touch the soil. Prevent future rot with bright light, fast‑draining soil, and infrequent watering.
