What Makes String of Dolphins Unique?

Senecio peregrinus stands out among trailing succulents thanks to its plump, curved leaves that genuinely resemble dolphins leaping out of the water. The lush green foliage is both eye-catching and low-maintenance, ideal for those who want easy-care indoor plants with maximum impact. String of dolphins can produce dainty, fragrant blooms in autumn if provided with the right conditions—making it a showstopper year-round.

Growing and Care Tips for String of Dolphins

This succulent thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some morning sun. Plant your string of dolphins in a well-draining cactus mix and water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions. With proper light, minimal watering, and airflow, these playful vines can trail up to a metre long, making them perfect for hanging baskets or elevated shelves.

If you love the whimsical look of string of dolphins, explore our selection of related succulents and trailing plants.
