For those ready to take the leap into the world of succulents, an incredibly fun plant with which to make one's first encounter would be string of dolphins (Senecio peregrinus). Also known as dolphin necklace, it is a cascading succulent whose leaves trail down long thin stems, looking like dolphins leaping in the ocean. Plant parenting doesn't get much more playful than having your own pod of fleshy, dolphin-shaped leaves to care for and admire. Thanks to its unique, smile-inducing charms, string of dolphins has enchanted longtime succulent collectors and first-timers alike. Much like its relatives string of pearls and string of bananas, string of dolphins thrives from above, cascading from hanging baskets and providing attractive greenery and flowers where most succulents do not. Create a feel of lush, peaceful retreat by adding several hanging baskets. Pendant stems grow to 2 ft. to 3 ft. If you look closely at the dolphins, you can see that each leaf has a narrow, translucent, photosynthesis-aiding window.
