Complete Care Guide for Succulent String of Dolphins (Senecio Peregrinus)

Succulent String of Dolphins, scientifically known as Senecio peregrinus, is a unique and eye-catching plant that resembles a pod of leaping dolphins. To ensure your String of Dolphins thrives, follow this comprehensive care guide:

Light:

• Bright, Indirect Light: Place your Succulent String of Dolphins in a location with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but protection from intense afternoon sun is advisable.

Water:

• Infrequent Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during the dormant period in winter, to prevent root rot.

Soil:

Container:

• Well-Draining Pots: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation at the bottom.

Pests and Diseases:

• Watch for Aphids and Mealybugs: Keep an eye out for common succulent pests. If detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Check for signs of overwatering to prevent root issues.

Propagation:

• From Cuttings: Propagate String of Dolphins by taking stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus before planting them in soil or water for root development.
