The Story Behind This Plant

String of Dolphin, botanically Senecio peregrinus, is a hybrid succulent believed to be a cross between String of Pearls and the Candle Plant (Senecio articulatus). Like its relatives, it thrives in warm, dry conditions similar to its native South African habitat.

How to take care of String of Dolphin

Sun: Direct - Indirect

Provide your plant with ample natural light, but be cautious of intense afternoon sun. A well-lit room with filtered sunlight is ideal for optimal growth.

Light: Bright

Place your String of Dolphin in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

Water: When Fully dry

Water your String of Dolphin sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering.

Humidity: Low

String of Dolphin plants prefer moderate humidity levels. If your home is particularly dry, consider misting the plant occasionally or placing a small humidifier nearby.

Pet Friendly: Caution

String of Dolphin is considered mildly toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious pets to prevent any potential adverse reactions.

Pro Tip

String of Dolphin plants are sensitive to overwatering, so it's crucial to ensure proper drainage in the pot. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Additionally, consider using a terra cotta pot, which helps absorb excess moisture from the soil. This simple step can prevent root rot and keep your String of Pearls thriving.
