# I’m a little concerned about my string of dolphins… it’s been…

_Opslået af Lindsey den 2024-07-24_

I’m a little concerned about my string of dolphins… it’s been stretching out more and more over the month that I’ve had it, and I’m not sure if this should be considered leggy growth. Then a couple weeks ago most of the leaves started turning into sting rays. Also to note a couple of the interior leaves have died and shriveled up. Does anyone have any advice on what may be happening?

Update: it’s in a big south facing window where it gets bright indirect light but not direct.

With the leggy growth and flattening (string rays), it sounds like it’s not getting enough light. I keep my strings of dolphins near a west facing window. It was getting a bit leggy until I added a grow light. Now it’s doing very well.

Thanks for the input. I currently have mine in a big south facing window where it gets bright indirect light, and I initially thought that would be enough for it.
