Dreaming of a sunset along the beach with a pod of dolphins jumping along the horizon?! This stunning trailing plant recognized for it's dolphin shaped leaves is a definite must have easy full sun plant. Infrequent watering makes it super easy to care for so long as it has enough light. String of Dolphins plants are a semi-succulent vining plant, which means they are more tolerant of DRY soil than wet soil. Over-watering this plant is very common, and each of its watering sessions should be spaced out. The topsoil should dry out before it is watered again. When the weather becomes warmer, you may want to spray the leaves with some water as well.
* Important, best is to bottom water, leave /soak it in water for 10 minutes then remove. Never top water. Let it dry completely between next watering.
