String of Dolphin

Dolphin plants are hybrids that bring extra charm to a sea-themed planter.

• Their unusual leaf form has typical succulent plumpness with low maintenance and few growing issues.
• The main thing to remember is that the plant is a succulent and requires well-draining soil to thrive.
• One of the worst offenses is overly wet soil, but don’t be fooled – dolphin plants do like regular moisture.

LIGHT

• Bright, indirect light, early morning sun, or semi to half shade. Plants may become sunburnt from too much sun.

WATER

• Allow soil to dry out between watering to avoid root rot.

SOIL

• Use a well-draining soil mix.

FERTILIZER

• Use a top dressing of general fertilizer once or twice a year to enhance new growth and the plant’s overall health.
• Over-fertilizing causes malformed growth, losing that iconic leaping dolphin look.
