What Makes String of Dolphins Special

String of Dolphins is not just another hanging succulent. Its vibrant foliage, easy-care nature, and quirky silhouette make it a talking point in any home or office. Senecio peregrinus thrives with minimal care—just plenty of bright, indirect sunlight and a good soak when the soil has dried out. It's tolerant of the occasional missed watering, making it ideal for plant lovers who adore a low-maintenance but visually stunning specimen.

Care Tips for Senecio Peregrinus

Keep your String of Dolphins happy with these simple guidelines: - Use a free-draining succulent potting mix to prevent root rot. - Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry. - Give it plenty of bright, indirect light—avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the leaves. - Feed lightly with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer during spring and summer.

With proper care, your plant will continue producing its playful leaves and may even gift you with tiny, fragrant blooms.

Create a Succulent Collection

The String of Dolphins pairs beautifully with other cascading or upright succulents. We highly recommend exploring unique and complementary varieties such as Senecio rowleyanus (String Of Pearls), known for its bead-like trailing stems, or Senecio rowleyanus variegata for a splash of cream-marbling. If you’re keen on further expanding your succulent collection, Senecio jacobsenii and Senecio serpens both offer distinct colours and textures.
