Peperomia prostrata - String of Turtles

Peperomia prostrata 

Peperomia prostrata, commonly known as String of Turtles, is a charming trailing plant featuring tiny, bead-like leaves adorned with intricate, shell-like patterns. These unique markings resemble the patterns found on a turtle’s shell, making it a standout among trailing houseplants.

Growing along delicate, creeping pinkish vines, String of Turtles is perfect for hanging baskets, terrariums, or small-space displays. With its slow-growing, low-maintenance nature, this Peperomia is an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of whimsy and texture to their collection.

Peperomia Basic Care: Easy

• Water: Allow the soil to dry out almost entirely—up to 5 inches deep—between watering. A watering schedule similar to that of succulents and cacti works well.
• Light: It prefers medium to bright indirect light. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can cause leaf burn.
• Soil/Drainage: Well-draining soil mixes designed for cacti and succulents are ideal, though they can tolerate a standard houseplant mix if they are careful not to overwater.
• Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in average room temperature and humidity.
