The String of Dolphins requires bright, indirect light to maintain its unique shape and health. Placing it near a sunny window with a sheer curtain or in a well-lit room is ideal to prevent the stems from becoming leggy.
As a succulent, it prefers to dry out between waterings. Typically, once a week is sufficient, but you should always check that the soil is dry to the touch before adding more water to avoid root rot.

This succulent thrives in standard indoor temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It should be kept away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like radiators.
