String of Dolphins | Dolphin Plant

String of Dolphins or Dolphin Plant is an adorable trailing succulent that interestingly resembles a pod of leaping dolphins. The fleshy leaves even have small, pointed parts that resemble a dolphin's pectoral fins. Being an uncommon hybrid between the Senecio Roweleyanus (String of Pearls) and Senecio Articulates (hot dog or candle plant), the Dolphin Plant is not an easy plant to find. With its iconic dolphin-shaped foliage, the Dolphin Plant is a rare find that you and your friends will instantly fall in love with.

General

The stems of the Dolphin Plant can grow up to 6 inches long.

In fall, clusters of small star-like white to light pink flowers with a cinnamon-like smell may bloom.

This ornamental vine is great for planting in hanging baskets or pots on shelves or window sills.

Sunlight

Your String of Dolphins requires plenty of bright indirect sunlight. Although it can also adapt to medium light when grown indoors. Growing your Dolphin Plant near a south-facing window would be ideal.

Unlike the usual succulents, your String of Dolphins prefer cooler air and can tolerate temperatures as low as 4 ?C. However, they are not frost-tolerant.

Watering

For healthy growth, let the soil of your Dolphin Plant completely dry out. After that, give it a good soak in water until it runs out the drainage holes.

In summer, you may have to water your drought-tolerant plant weekly. Reduce this frequency to about once or twice a month in winter.

It is vital to ensure choosing a pot with proper drainage holes, as overwatering or standing water can lead to root rot.

Soil

Your String of hearts requires a well draining soil mix like a succulent potting soil, but sandy soil is preferable.

Repot in an appropriate-sized pot with proper drain holes and water thoroughly. Use 3 part good potting soil and 1 part sharp sand. Or use a combination of 35% River sand + 15% cocopeat + 35% Organic manure/Vermicompost + 15% perlite
