Its iconic leaves mimic the arc of leaping dolphins mid-jump — a charming detail that makes it an instant conversation piece whether displayed in a hanging basket, cascading from a high shelf, or nestled in a windowsill arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach plant ships well-established and ready to trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright indirect light with some gentle morning sun. A south- or east-facing window is ideal. Insufficient light causes the distinctive dolphin shape to revert to flatter, less defined leaves — good light is key to maintaining the characteristic form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water deeply, then allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. String of Dolphins is more sensitive to overwatering than many succulents — err firmly on the side of underwatering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prefers average to low household humidity (30–50%). Does not require supplemental humidity; excess moisture can promote rot at the soil line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–80°F (15–27°C). Protect from frost and temperatures below 40°F. Brief cool periods in winter can encourage blooming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite (up to 50%). Drainage is the single most important factor for long-term health.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light feeding with a balanced fertilizer at quarter strength once a month during spring and summer only. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant is resting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every 2–3 years or when root-bound. Shallow hanging baskets or wide, shallow pots best showcase the trailing growth habit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToxicity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
