There’s A Succulent Plant That Looks Like It Has Tiny Dolphins On It

Looking for a unique succulent to add to your collection? Senecio peregrinus is a trailing succulent that is unlike any other you have ever seen, so you should remember its name.

This stunning houseplant is also known as a "string of dolphins" because of its unusually curved, blue-green leaves that resemble jumping dolphins. The dolphin-shaped leaves, which cascade beautifully as they mature, will add a year-round beach vibe to your home.

If you're looking for new succulent species, we recommend following the Japanese Twitter community. Furthermore, it was there that we first came across the Monilaria obconica, a strange-looking succulent that resembles cute little rabbit ears.

We took our time exploring the previously mentioned online group in the hopes of learning more, and it was well worth it. @kao77neko shared a stunning succulent plant with leaves that resemble miniature leaping dolphins on Twitter.

According to some "comments reading," the name of the exquisite succulent is Senecio peregrinus.

In the description, the Twitter user also stated that the leaves looked like dolphins leaping from every angle. The leaves of the vines become more dolphin-like as they grow longer.

Trailing succulents look great in hanging baskets and vertical gardens, where the trailing vines can cascade beautifully.

You don't have to fly to Japan to get one of these exquisite items. The Senecio peregrinus is widely available online and can be delivered to your door in a container.

This houseplant thrives best in a well-lit environment. Overwatering can kill it, as it can kill other succulents. Water the soil thoroughly, then wait until it is completely dry before watering again.

It blooms in late April with clusters of cinnamon-scented, white-pink flowers.
