Frequently Asked Questions about String of Dolphins Succulents

Here are some frequently asked questions to help you care for your String of Dolphins:

1. How often should I water my String of Dolphins Succulent?
   Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water more frequently than in the dormant season (fall and winter).
2. What kind of light does my String of Dolphins need?
   String of Dolphins thrive in bright, indirect light. A location with several hours of morning sun or filtered afternoon sun is ideal. Avoid direct, intense sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
3. What type of soil is best for String of Dolphins Succulents?
   A well-draining succulent or cactus mix is essential. You can also create your own mix by combining potting soil with perlite and coarse sand. This ensures proper drainage and prevents water from sitting around the roots.
4. How do I propagate String of Dolphins?
   String of Dolphins can be easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow the cut end to callous over for a few days, then plant it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist until roots develop.
5. Why are the ‘dolphins’ on my plant turning brown or shriveling?
   This is often a sign of either overwatering or underwatering. Check the soil moisture and adjust your watering accordingly. Also, ensure the plant is receiving adequate light and is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
