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 😩😏😂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

@carmenwhitehead

3 жыл бұрын

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)
