String of Turtles
Peperomia prostrata, commonly known as String of Turtles, is a charming and unique trailing houseplant admired for its small, round, succulent-like leaves that resemble tiny turtle shells. The leaves are dark green with intricate white or silver veining, creating a beautiful, mosaic-like pattern. Thriving in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, String of Turtles prefers moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and appreciates higher humidity levels. Ideal for hanging baskets, terrariums, or as a trailing plant in containers, Peperomia prostrata adds a touch of whimsy and natural beauty to any indoor space. Its low-maintenance nature and captivating foliage make it a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners, providing year-round interest with its delicate, cascading stems and unique leaf patterns.
