Just beautiful, came within a couple of days, well packaged and had no damage at all. Very pleased with this company and at how quickly I received my order. The plants are stunning, very healthy and cannot wait to watch them grow. Would definitely order again.

3. String of Turtles
Why we love it:
Also known as Peperomia Prostrata, this petite trailing plant features turtle-shell-patterned leaves that adds character to any plant collection. It's easy to care for and safe if ingested by curious paws!
Care tip:
This plant loves bright, indirect light and infrequent watering so let it dry out between drinks. It’s also best to handle with care as the turtle-shaped leaves are quite delicate.

4. Lipstick Plant
Why we love it:
Also known as the Aeschynanthus Japhrolepis, this trailing beauty produces vibrant red, tubular flowers, adding a pop of colour to your home. Best of all, it can be hung up on macramé or on a shelf to keep it out of reach from pets.

Keeping this plant bright, indirect light, watering sparingly and ensuring good drainage will be the key to making this plant bloom multiple times a year!
