For those ready to take the leap into the world of succulents, an incredibly fun plant with which to make one's first encounter would be string of dolphins (Senecio peregrinus). Also known as dolphin necklace, it is a cascading succulent whose leaves trail down long thin stems, looking like dolphins leaping in the ocean. Plant parenting doesn't get much more playful than having your own pod of fleshy, dolphin-shaped leaves to care for and admire. Much like its relatives string of pearls and string of bananas, string of dolphins thrives from above, cascading from hanging baskets and providing attractive greenery and flowers where most succulents do not. Create a feel of lush, peaceful retreat by adding several hanging baskets. Pendant stems grow to 2 ft. to 3 ft. If you look closely at the dolphins, you can see that each leaf has a narrow, translucent, photosynthesis-aiding window. Excited. We dolphinitely are. Provide filtered light to part sun. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Hardiness: USDA Zone 10a, protect from frost. Smart Planet offers a remarkable selection of drought-tolerant plants that are not only easier to care for, they’re mindful of our planet too. We believe there’s something special about working outside in the soil with plants or that one-of-a-kind feeling you get when tending to your indoor greenery. We grow more than just plants, we create gardening experiences for indoor and outdoor gardeners and do-it-yourselfers.
