Peperomia prostrata - String of Turtles

$1199 USD
4" Growers Pot

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.

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
