String of Dolphins (Senecio peregrinus)

String of Dolphins is a charming trailing succulent known for its playful dolphin-shaped leaves that look like they are jumping along the vines. Its unique foliage makes it a favourite for hanging planters, shelves, and bright windowsills.

This plant is part of the string succulent family and is best suited for someone who enjoys bright light and careful watering. With the right conditions, it can trail beautifully over time.

Key Features:

String of Dolphins grows as a trailing plant with slender vines that can become longer and fuller with good light. It is moderately fast-growing in bright conditions but may become leggy if it does not receive enough light.

Pet Friendliness:

The String of Pearls is not pet-friendly.  It is toxic to cats, dogs, and other pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.

Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct morning sun. Insufficient light may cause leggy growth.

Watering: Water sparingly—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can quickly lead to root rot.

Humidity: Thrives in dry to moderate humidity. No misting needed, making it perfect for typical indoor conditions.

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 18–27°C. Protect from frost and temperatures below 10°C.

Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent excess moisture retention.

Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a diluted succulent fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). No feeding is needed in fall and winter.

Pruning: Trim straggly or overgrown vines to maintain a fuller shape and encourage new growth.
