🌿 Plant Care Tips

Peperomia prostrata, commonly known as String of Turtles, is an eye-catching trailing plant that belongs to the peppercorn family, Piperaceae. Known for its unique, round, and fleshy leaves that resemble tiny turtle shells, this plant is a must-have for any indoor plant enthusiast. Not only is it a beautiful and modern-looking addition to your home decor, but it is also low maintenance and has air-purifying qualities, making it an excellent choice for busy households.

String of Turtles is perfect for hanging baskets or cascading over shelves, adding a touch of whimsy to any space. Its vine-like stems and intricate leaf patterns make it a standout piece in any plant collection, offering both aesthetic appeal and easy care requirements.

Native to: Peperomia prostrata is native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, where it grows as an epiphyte on trees and rocks in shaded, humid environments.

Water: Allow the topsoil to dry out completely before watering your Peperomia prostrata. This plant is susceptible to root rot, so it's important to ensure good drainage and avoid waterlogging. During the winter months, reduce the frequency of watering as the plant's growth slows down.

Light: Peperomia prostrata does well in light to moderate light conditions, such as those found in a northern or east-facing window. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Humidity: Normal household humidity is sufficient for Peperomia prostrata. While it thrives in higher humidity levels, it can adapt to average indoor humidity. If your home is particularly dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water.

Temperature: Peperomia prostrata prefers warmth, thriving at around 20°C. Keep the plant away from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C, as it is sensitive to cold and prefers a stable, warm environment.

 

Please note: Peperomia prostrata is a particularly delicate plant and it is expected that it will drop some leaves in transit.
