String of Turtles
String of Turtles, scientifically known as Peperomia prostrata, is a charming and popular houseplant renowned for its unique and decorative appearance. This plant features small, round leaves that resemble turtle shells, complete with intricate, variegated patterns of green and silvery-white. The leaves are thick and waxy, growing on thin, trailing stems that can cascade beautifully over the edges of pots or hanging baskets. Please allow for a possible deviation in appearance compared to the product photo. Every plant is unique, and they may vary in size/colour/stages of flowering.
Light: Indirect. String of Turtles should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best.
Water: Needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment, will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
