The "String Of" succulents can be so rewarding in beauty but can be so frustrating to get them to that point. I've had my fair share of frustration with them, but over time I've learned a few things on how to take care of them. I hope these tips help you too.

Perfect. Answered my search for why my dolphins started looking like turtles. I guess I will call them stingrays now 😁
Awww, Rosie ☺
Your string of succulents are so beautiful
Thank you! 😊🌱🌵.
Amen 🙏 🙏
I love your videos so informative and you are so cute so relatable and down to earth.
Thank you so much!!
I like the baby necklace too! Kinda weird but unique looking!!
Cool plants
Love the burros tail, but it’s way too easy for the leaves to fall off 🤣I swear if I look at it wrong it’s sheds those cute little plump leaves. The hearts, variegated, spade or green version are easy as I water them as I do my succulents and keep them in very bright, with a little direct, especially for the variegated , sun. The pitcher idea is adorable I need to try that.Great video as always Carmen 💚🙌 string of dolphins 😩😏😂
It is such a sensitive plant, we'll see how I do when I repot it. Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth!
Try to hold off asl long as possible Carmen😛😏
Thank you! Needed a string of care refresh, will put mine in east window. The pitcher is adorable 😍.
Thanks Kimberly! I got the idea from Instagram. 😊🌱🌵
Love your water pitcher idea, maybe I can do that with my string of pearls when it grows a bit longer. I’m still searching for a string of hearts plant at my nearby plant shops. I always enjoy your videos because I learn something new, thank you!
So glad you enjoy them and thanks so much for your support! 😊🌱
I'm so glad you made this video. I just replanted my string of dolphins because the nursery soil was getting moldy and there were dying stands so watching this is right on time 🕛
So glad it was timely and helpful. Thanks for watching! 😊🌱
Thanks for sharing Carmen. Love my "Tanks"😊 Never saw that last one, cool flowers,hope yours blooms 😉
The dolphins are so funny! I would be happy with my new string of “sting rays” haha. Personally, I kinda like the look! 🤣✨🪴
It is still a very pretty plant. I'm going to nurture it anyway. 😂
I killed my string of buttons and string of pearls last year😭😭😭 i bought another string of pearls... hopefully it gets well 🙏
I envy your string of succulents♡♡♡
Hi Carmen , How far is your window from were you are sitting ? The plants behind you look amazing .
I'm about 8 feet away from the window.
Great video:) I love strings of everything :)))
Many thanks for the tips! I have a string of bananas and of pearls but hope to get more varieties this spring. 😁
Good luck!😂🐶
I think taking care of string of dolphins is easy... I just ignore it and water it when the soil is stone dry. I got it cause I love dolphins 🥰 🐬 💖💗💓 Loved you string of stingrays 🌱
Great tip!
Like u Carmen I can’t remember how many string of pearls I’ve killed & everytime I say that’s it I’m done I end up finding another beautiful 1 .. and here we go again
This is the longest I've had one last, so I'm hopeful. 😊🌱.
Just found you. Liked and subscribed! Keep making these great videos
Awesome, thank you!
Carmen, that’s really interesting about your string of dolphins/stingrays. I learned something new today! 😉
Glad you enjoyed it! I love the plant anyway and plan on keeping it. Thanks for visiting! 😊🌱
Beautiful collection, Carmen! Great video as well xo
Thank you so much Sam! 😊🌱🌵
Looking great Carmen!
For the life of me, I can't keep any of the senecio "string of" alive in my home 🙁
I do OK with most of the crassulas and ceropegias "string of". I will probably try the string of dolphins (my favorite!) again this year but if I do it'll be my last try, do or die.
The String of 🐬needs lots of indirect light to help keep it's shape. good luck!
I do not have any string plants but the pitcher idea I'm sure could work for trailing vining plants of all kinds too, so thanks! I have a few pitchers and a lot of vining plants so maybe I'll try that.
That's great, I'm sure it would work for those plants too.
Carmen beautiful plants. I do not have any luck with them.
I think the string of bananas or fish hooks (which is a little bigger) are the easiest.
I only have String of Hearts. No succulent ones. I’m not brave enough 😂
I 🥰🥰🥰 the pitcher idea!
I think the string of bananas or the string of hooks (that's similar but bigger) are hardier and you may want to try them. Thanks for watching Vicky!
Looking good! The plants too.
LOL! Thank you, I put in a little effort that day.😂🐶
Hi Carmen, nice plants and amazing video, greetings from Serbia !
Thank you! 😃
Enjoy seeing your string of collection. So interesting all the varieties 🤓
Glad you enjoyed! And there's still many more that I don't have yet. Thanks for the visit Lucille! 😊🐶🌱.
Loved this video
So glad you liked it. 😊🌱
Thanks for the pitcher planter idea. I love it ! I’ll try it too!
It's a bit heavy, so make sure it's secure. But, I thought it was a cute idea for the size plant I have. 😊🌱
It’s an amazing idea! Trying it now!!
That string of dolphins is looking great!! I'd love to get one of those sometime
I love it just the way it is. 😊🌱.
Thank you for letting us know about the string of dolphins, I was going to get one but I'm not now.
I didn't mean to turn you off on them. They do require bright indirect light and that may be part of the reason they reverted. For me it's just not worth the second effort.
The string of dolphins do that when you don't give it enough water, it'll turn flat. They like you to be pretty consistent with the watering. Also, they love light. I have all my strings of.....outside in direct sun light. They are so happy and flowering right now since is grow season for succulents, they love the cold weather. It all depends on where you live. I'm in Southern California.
@@maricela707 The AZ sun killed many of mine last year. That's why I have them inside now. Thanks for the tips!
Hola Carmen Lo que pasó con tu planta de delfines es que ella necesita estar afuera . Se te etioló y perdió su forma,yo la tengo afuera y llevo con ella 5 años y nunca me ha pasado eso..trata de ponerla afuera yo vivo en donde nueva y solo la tapo cuando tengo temperaturas menos de 27 grados.. Aquí donde vivo neva.asi que no te desmoralices .la mima la temgo debajo de mi patio cover. Saludos Carmen
Si necesitas cuttings yo te doy . 😉
i loooveee your string of sting rays! haha. It definitely looks good either way. I've seen how hard those are to care for (being that it doesn't stay as dolphins) so I always just pass them up. Sadly...but true. I love string of succs!!!
There's lots of other strings we can have in our collection. Thanks so much for visiting!😊🌱🌵
I like your string of dolphins 🐬🐬🐬 mixed with other I think it's pretty like that. Mine die due to cold weather. It was perfect last summer.
I do like the mix also. Maybe some new growth will come in as 🐬? Either way, it's alive and I love it! 😊🌱🌵.
Will you do a video on Tanks Green stuff? Tell us all the plants you use the cactus soil for and the plants you use the De la tanks soils for.
I’m wondering what you would use for Peperomia?
For the Peperomias, I plan on using the De La tanks soil. I will be doing repotting videos in the next month or two and go over each one.
Hi Carmen, the reason the dolphins flatten their leaves is because they are not getting enough of light. They flatten their leaves in order to get as much sun exposure as they can. Liz
Elizabeth what about when there coming in small?
@@kareng2803 If the dolphins have their shape and are small? I would assume it's the same, they need more light. They are very high light demanding plants.
Thanks for the tip!
@@elizabethcarlson3634 Thank you. I will try them under my grow lights
You're right Liz. I have mine in an east facing window and it gets lots of light. So, I'm hopeful that any new growth will come in normal. Thanks so much for the tip! 😊🌱
Hi Carmen. I really like your plants and enjoy your video’s. They are very informative. Thank you. I have 1 small pot string of dolphins 🐬, 3 pots of string of hearts 💚, 2 pots of variegated string of Hearts💚,
The 3 pots of string of hearts are getting tubers on them. I need to propagate them. Can I just plant the tubers in soil and will they grow roots?
Yes they do take root in soil or water. Good luck!
Interesting info on the dolphins reverting to stingrays. My plant did this also but like you I don’t mind. 😁
I just got a String of Spades. I prefer it to the String of Turtles or Hearts. The leaves (spades) are bigger.
Your Cotelydon Pendens looks fabulous 💚
Great video thx
I would love to find a string of spades. I love the shape of the leaves. Thanks for visiting!
Love your shirt!
I have strings of pearls, hearts and spades or heartless vine. I kept them all in the small nursery pot prob 3-4”. Do you think i need to repot? They are all doing good. But getting a bit bald on top and i will take care of that this spring. I have a burros tail and i want to repot it so bad but gee is it delicate.
These plants don't have a big root system, so putting them in too big of a pot may do more harm. I would wait till you see roots coming out the bottom holes.
I love your videos, Carmen. The burro's tail and the string of dolphins are my favorites but my apartment has barely any natural light so I can't have them without using grow lights. Any experience with those guys under grow lights?
I haven't had mine under grow lights. But, I don't see a problem using one on them. They should be fine.
Love the string of plants. I have all but string of hearts. This summer the squirrel s ate all the peddles off my donkey tail. I am not sure if peddles will grow back. Maybe I should bring them in as house plant. Thank for sharing 🌵🪴👍🏻
I didn't know Squirrels liked them 😂. I have them inside to protect from the AZ heat and sun.
I just got my first string of dolphins and that’s so interesting how they can revert. Like you, I’ll continue to enjoy the plant if that happens because I like all things hanging/trailing.
Chain of hearts have to be the most prolific growers of all plants...your dolphins need more light...hut stingrays and dolphins swim together well.
I have a string of Jelly Beans I think thats what it was labeled, it had nice plump beans now it has lost most and are now little tiny ones, well its not dead yet, come spring I'll repot in better mix and hope for the best. lol
I think it may be lack of bright light. I think that's why my string of pearls are little pearls now. Hopefully in the Spring with better lighting it will have bigger beads. Thanks for stopping by Rhonda! 😊🌱🌵
Thanks for another informative video, Carmen. I really love your watercolour logo in your intro. Did you create that?
I created it from clipart that I have and added the music. Thanks for watching!
@@carmenwhitehead Beautiful!
When you add strands back into the pot, how do you do it? Do you use a tool to make a hole for each one, or do you scoop out dirt, lay them in there, and cover them? I am having trouble with this
I do scoop out the soil in the area I want to put the new growth. I tend to hold them together, place them in the hole and add soil. I do water the pot immediately to help the new growth acclimate.
I might start giving them distilled water. I've been using tap water that sits at least 24 his to get rid of the chlorine. Haven't fertilized my string of:
Hearts
Heartless
Bananas
Dolphins
Pearls (which I'm praying for a miracle for them to survive & restart growing)
I got a Brita filter for my kitchen faucet and I think it's really helped my indoor plants. My cacti and succulents don't seem to mind the regular tap water.
@@carmenwhiteheadmaybe that's what I should do.
Omg!! I found a 4in pot of String of buttons succulents $6.... variegated! So pretty! I wanted the string of pearl but they're so expensive!!! Now.. do the buttons grow better in a deep pot or a wide pot? I bought a cute pot thats wide but shallow..idk the name of this type of pot but you know Carmen. ( the one for succulent arrangements.... please advise!!
Its a ceramic pot....
It will do well in a shallow pot, the root systems are not huge. The variagated buttons are beautiful!
One more question for you.. is it necessary to put rocks in the bottom of the pots when I repot succulent?
@@michellec.4994 No, I never do that. If you have good draining soil and a pot with a hole, you don't need rocks at the bottom.
You are so helpful. I watch different plant people on UA-cam and sometimes it gets confusing but I really appreciate that you answer my questions right away!
I had the exact same string of pearl as yours. Unfortunately it was dead in the summer. Not sure the reason.
I think this may be my last try with them. So far, they're doing ok. Thanks for watching!
The only strings I get along with are the string of hearts. The others...let's just say it didn't end well. 😳
They can be fussy for sure! 😊🌱.
AW...it was Rosie that opened the door. I wondered, all of a sudden it opened and we couldn’t see her.
I don't close it all the way when I'm filming because she always wants in. So, this way she can just push it open and come in. She has me trained so well! 😊🌱🌵😂🐶.
Lol...ours have us trained as well!😳🤣
Just cut the string of hearts off and stick back in pot roots in no time
