Introducing the top-notch hanging plant String of Dolphins, also known as Senecio peregrinus, a beautiful member of the Secenio genus! It is sometimes called a dolphin necklace, a dolphin plant, or flying dolphins.

Native to Southern Africa, the string of dolphins is a trailing succulent in the Asteraceae family that is a cross between the string of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) and the hot dog cactus (Senecio articulates). 


The string of dolphins gets its name from the way its leaves grow in a cascading pattern, resembling a pod of leaping dolphins in mid-air.

With their ionic dolphin-shaped leaves and long hanging tendrils, they can grow up to 6 inches tall.

The dolphin leaves are small, chubby, and curved, resembling jumping dolphins with fins and tails.

The Flowers of the String of Dolphins plant typically blooms in the spring and summer seasons. During this time, you may see clusters of small, white, tubular string of dolphins flowers appearing along the trailing stems and vines. It's a delightful sight to behold!

To propagate a string of dolphins Senecio peregrinus can be done easily through stem cuttings. You can simply use a sharp knife to trim off a healthy stem, leave it callous for a few days, and then place it in well-draining soil. With proper care and attention, you can watch your string of dolphins flourish and create a stunning display of leaping dolphins in your own home.

Pro Tip

It's time to prune your plant when its vines begin to resemble overcooked spaghetti. Identify the nodes, which are the tiny lumps on the vines, and trim slightly above them. By doing this, the plant is encouraged to grow rather than just hang.

Whether you choose to grow Senecio peregrinus in hanging pots, a decorative hanging basket alone, or let them trail down from a larger pot to a shelf, the string of dolphin plants is sure to add a touch of whimsy and charm to any space. It's a delightful plant that will capture the hearts of both plant enthusiasts and dolphin lovers alike!

Watering Needs  

Unlike most succulents that can be difficult to water, Senecio peregrinusis relatively simple to care for. This dolphin succulent has water-storing leaves. It's best to water it thoroughly and then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it's important to avoid soggy soil or excess soil moisture.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, your dolphins' string may require more frequent watering. However, in the fall and winter, during the dormant season, it's important to reduce watering and allow your String of dolphins to rest.

To determine when it's time to water your string of dolphins, simply stick your finger into the soil up to your knuckle. If the soil feels dry at that depth, it's time to water. Be sure to water the Senecio peregrinus evenly, allowing the water to soak through the soil and drain out of the bottom of the pot. Remember, always use a terracotta potting medium that has adequate drainage holes to avoid any damage.

Light Requirements 

If you're growing your String of Dolphins indoors, placing a pot of it in a sunny window near a north or south-facing window is usually a good choice. You can also use a sheer curtain or blinds to filter the light if it's too intense.

When growing outdoors, the String of Dolphins plant, it loves bright, indirect light and morning sun. When exposed to too much sun, your string of dolphin plants can easily become sunburned. This houseplant requires Full sun to partial shade sun exposure for almost 4-6 hours a day. 

If you notice that your dolphin plant starts stretching or leaning toward the light, it's a sign that it needs more light. On the other hand, if the leaves start turning yellow or brown, they may be getting too much direct sunlight. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is important for the health and growth of your plant. So, keep an eye on how it responds to its current location and make adjustments as needed. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The string of dolphins favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining soil mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote new root growth that helps your succulent plants to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing, the String of Dolphins doesn't require a lot of nutrients. During the active growth of the growing season, which is typically early spring, you can fertilize it once a year with a natural, NPK fertilizer (5-10-5). However, during the dormant season, which is usually early fall and winter, you can reduce or even stop fertilizing altogether. This allows your dolphin plant to rest and prepare for healthy growth in the following season. 

Remember, it's always better to under-fertilize than to over-fertilize, as too much fertilizer can cause harm to your soft Senecio peregrinus. So, stick to a regular fertilizing schedule during the growing season and adjust accordingly during the dormant season. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

When grown indoors, the String of dolphins thrives in 60-80°F. As for humidity, the String of dolphins can adapt to both low and high-humidity environments. However, it generally prefers moderate humidity levels around 40-60%. If the air becomes too dry, you can mist the leaves with water or use a humidifier to increase the humidity around the plant. 

If you are living in USDA zone 10-11, you can grow your Strings of dolphins outdoors. This means Senecio peregrinus thrives in warmer climates where the temperatures rarely dip below freezing. It's important to avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F, as these below-freezing temperatures can cause damage to the plant. 

Remember, providing the right temperature and humidity conditions will help your String of Dolphins plant thrive and stay healthy.

A must have!!
Format: Kindle
As someone who was completely new to real estate, The Real Estate Investing and Rental Property 2-in-1 Boxset was exactly what I needed to get started. The first book walks you through the basics of real estate investing in 7 simple steps, making the entire process feel manageable, even if you don’t have much money or experience. It was reassuring to learn how regular people can get insanely wealthy through real estate, and the clear strategies for finding and financing your first deal were incredibly practical. The second book dives deeper into rental property investing, covering everything from finding the right property to managing short- and long-term rentals. I found the step-by-step guides on property management and scaling your portfolio especially helpful. The detailed sections on deal analysis and avoiding bad investments really boosted my confidence. The bonuses included, like the apartment investing guide and tax planning tips, were just icing on the cake. If you're looking to break into real estate or expand your rental empire, this boxset gives you everything you need in a straightforward, easy-to-follow format. I highly recommend it for beginners and seasoned investors alike!

Queer LitRPG at it's finest
Format: Kindle
It's been a while since I've read this genre. This is by far one of the best books in the LitRPG genre that I've ever read though. It has all of the trappings of a good LitRPG book, plus it has an actual plot and fleshed out characters. And our MC, Cat doesn't start off OP at all. Plus the fact that it's a queer woman as the MC. Beautiful. The snark from her AI companion, Mayalis is really fun as well. Lots of the reviews I've noticed seem to be reviewing the entire series as a whole, but I'm just going to stick to what I've read in each book separately. The story is fast paced, with short, bite sized chapters that lead you to zipping through. Because the next chapter is only a few more pages, you'll take a break then...or maybe the chapter after. I certainly couldn't put it down. I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment of the story to find out what happens next as well as to watch Cat's power grow. There is no romance yet in the story really, though there is a somewhat established relationship involving one of Cat's fellow orphans, Lucy. There is the promise for more romance ahead, and I'm looking forward to it.

Easy reading, needs an edit pass
Format: Kindle
Bottom Line Up Front: good enough to buy sequels. The premise of the story is set up well, pacing is overall decent (coincidentally, about real-time with the reader). The characters are simple, boiling down to one property for personality, one for motivation, and one for looks. However, they play believably against each other and there's no feeling of railroading (except one place, more on that later). The chapter prefaces offer a nice world building method unconstrained by the first person exclusive story itself. On the other hand... Tell me the book was written during Trump-era mask mandates without saying "The book was written during Trump-era mask mandates". Those references, while amusing now, will be dead in a few years (unlike the reference to SpaceBattles which is eternal). Speaking of: The book could use a professional editor to fix things like "gravity thingamaBALL" being two pages later called a "gravity thingamaGRENADE" and described as a cylinder, easy to tie to. Clearly the author changed the shape for convenience but forgot to change the earlier mention (also, metal cylinders slip out of nooses. If you write an ACME 10-ton weight, shape it like a weight and be done with it ;). There were other similar niggles that I forgot now, and I saw no major plotholes... But remember: SpaceBattles forum feedback does not an editor equal. Overall, nice way to spend sick days with 40 C fever.
