Trailing dolphins

Discover simple tips to make your String of Dolphins grow fuller, thicker, and mat-like effortlessly

- 

String of Dolphins is a unique succulent not only because it has a cool trailing form, but the magic lies in its leaves. On a close look, you'll notice that its folded leaves resemble cute little dolphins (hence the name). You can enhance this wow factor by making this plant denser.

Ideal sunlight conditions This is no secret—sunlight is important to almost every plant to grow robust and healthy. In the case of a string of dolphins, 4–6 hours of bright indirect light will aid the plant in producing enough energy through photosynthesis to actively grow out and rejuvenate its foliage.

The best location to place this plant is an east or south-facing window. And if you're growing it indoors with poor natural light, consider using a full-spectrum LED grow light to mimic daylight and support steady growth.
