Senecio Peregrinus 'String of Dolphins'

Senecio Peregrinus 'String of Dolphins' – A Whimsical, Dolphin-Inspired Beauty 🐬🌿

The Senecio Peregrinus, commonly known as the 'String of Dolphins,' is a truly unique and eye-catching succulent that looks like a playful cluster of dolphins swimming through the air! This plant's distinctive leaves resemble dolphin-shaped silvery-green leaves that grow along long, trailing stems. It's a fun and fascinating plant to grow, perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trailing down planters.

🌱 Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much direct sun can scorch its leaves. Aim for around 4-6 hours of indirect light each day for optimal growth.
• Water: Water the plant thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. This succulent is drought-tolerant, so avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in the winter months when it’s dormant.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil. Use a cactus or succulent mix or add perlite or sand to your regular potting mix to improve drainage.
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures ranging from 60-85°F (16-29°C). Protect it from temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it's sensitive to frost.
• Humidity: Low humidity is perfect for the 'String of Dolphins.' It thrives in the dry air typical of homes and offices.
• Fertilizer: Feed the plant with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) once a month. Reduce fertilization in fall and winter.
• Growth: Grows slowly, producing long, trailing stems that can reach several feet in length. It's perfect for hanging baskets or letting it cascade over the sides of a shelf or planter.

🌟 Fun Fact:

The 'String of Dolphins' is a hybrid of Senecio articulatus and Senecio rowleyanus. The unique dolphin-shaped leaves are what make this succulent so beloved among collectors.
