The Senecio peregrinus, also known as the dolphin plant, is a particularly original trailing succulent. Its small fleshy leaves have an amazing shape reminiscent of tiny dolphins jumping out of the water. Its soft green foliage grows along long, flexible stems that trail elegantly, making it an ideal plant for hanging baskets and shelves. With bright light, its leaves retain their characteristic shape and its stems become generously full.
💡Quick tip
To maintain its small dolphin-shaped leaves, provide it with plenty of light. A lack of light can cause them to lose their characteristic shape. Avoid overwatering, which can quickly cause root rot.
