Description

Peperomia prostrata

Peperomia prostrata, commonly known as String of Turtles, is a charming and delicate trailing plant that is highly sought after for its unique foliage. The small, round leaves resemble tiny turtle shells, with intricate patterns of light green veins on a deep green background. These leaves cascade gracefully from thin, trailing stems, making this plant ideal for hanging baskets or as a trailing accent in mixed containers.

This compact plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Peperomia prostrata is relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional watering when the soil is dry, making it an excellent choice for busy or beginner gardeners.

Peperomia prostrata’s distinctive appearance and easy care make it a popular choice for indoor plant enthusiasts. Its trailing habit and unique leaf patterns add a touch of whimsy and natural beauty to any indoor space.
