Caring Tips:-
Light: Provide bright, indirect sunlight. String of Dolphins thrives in partial to filtered sunlight, but avoid harsh, direct sunlight that can scorch its leaves.
Potting Mix: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Adding perlite or sand can improve drainage.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between watering. Water thoroughly, but be cautious not to overwater, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.
Fertilization: Feed the plant sparingly with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer), approximately once every 4-6 weeks.
Pruning: Trim leggy or overgrown stems to encourage bushier growth. You can also propagate cuttings to grow new plants.
