The dolphin string plant originates from Southern Africa and is sensitive to cold temperatures and frost. It thrives in warm and sunny environments. For indoor cultivation, maintaining temperatures between 65 and 85°F is optimal. Being a trailing succulent that developed in a dry global region, it doesn't demand elevated humidity levels. There's no necessity for misting, utilizing humidity trays, plant humidifiers, or pebble trays. In reality, excessive humidity can result in leaf decay.
