String of Turtles

Hey, I’m Peperomia prostrata, also known as String of Turtles! I’m loved for my delicate trailing vines and tiny, round leaves decorated with a beautiful turtle-shell pattern. My unique foliage makes me a real eye-catcher, whether I'm cascading from a hanging planter, trailing over a shelf, or brightening up a windowsill.

I thrive in bright, indirect light and enjoy a warm spot with moderate humidity. I'm easy to care for, making me a great choice for both new and experienced plant parents. Better still, I'm non-toxic to pets and children, so I’m a safe and stylish addition to your home.

I prefer my soil to dry out slightly between waterings, so avoid keeping me too wet—overwatering is the quickest way to upset me. Give me the right conditions, and I'll reward you with lush, trailing growth and plenty of charm.
