Description

String of Dolphins: Trailing succulent with curved, dolphin-shaped leaves; stems may reach 1–2 feet. Small pale flowers can appear under favorable conditions.

Growing in Alabama and the Southeast

Grow in a pot with drainage and a gritty succulent mix. Give bright indirect light or gentle morning sun; harsh Alabama afternoon sun can scorch leaves. Water when the mix has dried substantially, and reduce watering in winter. Bring indoors before frost; protect from cold, wet soil. Trim long stems in spring and root healthy cuttings to refresh the plant.
