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.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
