String of Turtles
Peperomia prostrata
Tiny, trailing, and totally adorable String of Turtles is the ultimate cute but chill houseplant. With round, succulent like leaves patterned just like miniature turtle shells, this plant brings serious charm in a small package.
It’s slow growing, pet safe, and perfect for terrariums, hanging pots, or plant shelves that need a bit more magic.
✨ Why we love it:
🌿 Miniature turtle patterned leaves that look unreal
🌿 Compact trailing growth that suits small spaces
🌿 Great for terrariums or shelves with bright light
🌿 Easygoing and pet safe, win win!
💡 Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Too much direct sun can fade the patterns.
💧 Water: Let the top layer of soil dry out before watering. Loves moisture but hates soggy roots.
🌱 Humidity: Likes a little extra humidity but tolerates average indoor conditions too.
🌡️ Temperature: Warm, cosy conditions are best. Keep away from cold draughts.
🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Yes, totally non toxic and safe for curious pets or little hands.
🌿 Top Tip: Use a chunky, well draining mix. Treat it like a semi succulent and don’t overwater.
The String of Turtles is a slow growing gem with big personality. Tiny leaves, big vibes the perfect addition to any plant gang.
