Peperomia Prostrata, better known as String of Turtles, is a charming trailing tropical plant recognized for its tiny round leaves with intricate patterns resembling miniature turtle shells. Its green foliage features delicate silver to dark green markings that give each leaf a unique appearance.

Its fine stems gradually become longer and more trailing, creating a beautiful cascade of miniature leaves. It is especially attractive in hanging planters, on shelves, or anywhere its foliage can naturally trail.

Light:

Prefers bright, indirect light. Good lighting encourages compact growth and helps maintain the attractive red tones of the foliage. Avoid intense direct sunlight.

Water:
