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.
