Ever dreamt of having your own pod of dolphins? Well, grab your snorkel because Flipper’s Trails, or as botanists like to call it, the Senecio peregrinus, brings a playful splash of the ocean to your home. Native to the stunning landscapes of South Africa, this trailing succulent features leaves adorably shaped like leaping dolphins, transforming your space into a marine haven. With each little dolphin leaf holding on to precious water, this plant is as hardy as it is charming. So dive in and let these little guys swim their way into your heart and home!
Benefits:
Water-Retention Whiz: Those dolphin leaves know how to hold onto H2O, making it a drought-resistant wonder.
Low Maintenance: Easy to care for, perfect even for those without a green thumb.
Unique Look: Impress guests with its fun, dolphin-shaped foliage.
Air-Purifying: Like many succulents, helps keep the air in your space fresh.
Care Instructions:
Flipper’s Trails is as low-maintenance as it gets. Place it in bright, indirect sunlight—think dolphin antics under a beach umbrella. Water it sparingly; let the soil dry out completely between drinks. Overwatering is a one-way ticket to Davy Jones’ locker for these little swimmers. If you’re a plant-feeding fan, a diluted succulent fertilizer a few times during the growing season will do the trick.

Show off those leaping dolphins by placing Flipper’s Trails in a hanging planter where its tendrils can cascade freely. It also looks fantastic on a high shelf or a windowsill where it can catch plenty of light and attention. Complement it with other quirky plants to create a playful and whimsical indoor garden.
