String of Dolphins
"Senecio"
Description
"String of Dolphins" has curved leaves that look like tiny leaping dolphins. Stunning in hanging pots.
Sun Needs
Bright light, including some direct morning sun. Needs plenty of light to stay plump and full; too little light causes sparse, leggy strands.
Water Needs
Water sparingly. Only when the soil is fully dry, about every 2-3 weeks. Very drought-tolerant; shriveled beads mean it's thirsty, mushy beads mean overwatered.
Repotting Instructions
Repot every 2-3 years in a shallow pot. Use cactus/succulent mix for sharp drainage. Handle gently. Strands are fragile but root easily where they touch soil.
