Each leaf arches and curves to resemble a leaping dolphin, complete with a curved body and paired fins. The foliage grows fresh bright green along long, slender trailing vines that cascade from a pot or hanging basket. The leaves are plump and succulent, holding water efficiently while maintaining a sculptural silhouette that reads as both geometric and organic. 
Small fluffy white to pale pink blooms appear with a light sweet fragrance when nighttime temperatures drop slightly during late autumn or early winter. Flowering is infrequent and unpredictable rather than guaranteed. 
Display Senecio Peregrinus in a hanging basket or on a high shelf where the vines can trail. It tolerates dry heated air and can be moved outside for summer in a sheltered spot with cover from rain. The sap causes skin and paw irritation and is harmful if ingested, so keep it on a high shelf away from pets and small children. 
String of Dolphins - Senecio Peregrinus grows well in bright indirect light or partial sun, avoiding harsh south-facing windows that scorch its leaves. 
Water it deeply every 10-14 days in spring and summer, then reduce to every 3-4 weeks in fall and winter, allowing soil to dry fully between waterings. 
Senecio Peregrinus does best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with added perlite for extra aeration. 
It prefers temperatures between 50-80°F and should be brought indoors before temperatures drop near freezing. 
It is hardy in USDA zones 10-11, tolerating minimum temperatures around 30-35°F before cold damage becomes a risk. It grows outdoors year-round in Hawaii, southern Florida, and frost-free pockets of Southern California, coastal Southern Texas, and southern Arizona. It also survives in warm corners of Louisiana, coastal Georgia, the southernmost tip of South Carolina, and parts of coastal Mississippi and Alabama; in all other states it should be grown as a container plant and moved indoors well before the first frost. Q: How often should I water String of Dolphins - Senecio Peregrinus?
A: During spring and summer, allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot. In fall and winter, extend the interval to every 3-4 weeks as growth slows.
Q: Is it safe around cats and dogs?
A: String of Dolphins - Senecio Peregrinus has sap that causes skin and paw irritation on contact, and ingestion is harmful. Keep it on a high shelf well out of reach.
Q: What kind of light does Senecio Peregrinus prefer?
A: An east or west-facing window provides bright indirect light or partial sun without the leaf scorch that direct south-facing sun causes. It can even grow under quality office LEDs.
Q: How do I propagate this plant?
A: Snip a healthy stem with several leaves, let the cut end callous for a day or two, then place it in well-draining succulent soil. Senecio Peregrinus roots typically develop within a few weeks.
Q: Can String Of Dolphins survive a trip without water?
A: Yes. It will wilt slightly if left dry for extended periods, but returns to full turgidity once watered.
Q: Is this plant truly rare?
A: String Of Dolphins is considered uncommon in typical plant shops, though it has gained popularity among collectors interested in trailing succulents with distinctive foliage.

🌵 For Succulents
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
