The String of Dolphins Senecio Peregrinus Succulent is a rare trailing succulent from the Senecio genus, believed to be a natural hybrid originating in the arid regions of Southwest Africa. It belongs to the Asteraceae family and has captured the hearts of collectors worldwide as both a dolphin plant succulent and a genuine rare find.
What makes the String of Dolphins Senecio Peregrinus Succulent instantly recognizable are its small, arching leaves shaped almost exactly like leaping dolphins, complete with a curved body and tiny paired fins. The leaves are a fresh, bright green and grow along long, slender trailing vines that cascade beautifully from a pot or hanging basket. Each leaf is plump and succulent, holding water efficiently while maintaining that charming, sculptural silhouette that makes this plant so visually addictive.
The String of Dolphins Senecio Peregrinus Succulent can produce small, fluffy white to pale pink blooms with a light, sweet fragrance when given a slight drop in nighttime temperatures during late autumn or early winter. Blooms are infrequent and considered a bonus rather than a guarantee, but when they appear they add an extra layer of charm to an already architectural, bohemian-style display.
This is a genuine collector find, and the String of Dolphins Senecio Peregrinus Succulent looks stunning in a trailing succulent hanging basket or displayed on a high shelf where its vines can spill freely. It tolerates dry heated air well and can move outside for summer, though it needs cover from rain to protect its leaves. Because the sap can cause skin and paw irritation and the plant is harmful if ingested, it should be kept on a high shelf out of reach of pets and away from small children. It even survives a 10-day trip alone and will show you when it is thirsty by gently wilting, making it a surprisingly communicative and low-stress rare plant to own.
