Peperomia prostrata 'String of Turtles' is a delightful miniature trailing plant that will add a touch of whimsy to your home. This charming houseplant is native to the rainforests of Brazil and is prized for its unique leaves that resemble tiny turtle shells.
Distinctive Features
- Leaves: Small, round leaves with dark green veins that resemble turtle shells. The leaves are typically 1-2cm (0.4-0.8 inches) in diameter and have a slightly succulent texture.
- Growth Habit: This Peperomia has a trailing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets or shelves where its vines can cascade gracefully. It is a relatively slow-growing plant, typically reaching a length of 30-45cm (12-18 inches).
Care Tips
- Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
- Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
- Humidity: This Peperomia enjoys moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly, placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier.
- Temperature: Maintain comfortable room temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid exposing this plant to cold draughts or temperatures below 13°C (55°F).
- Fertiliser: Use a diluted liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Pruning: Pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth. You can also propagate new plants from stem cuttings.
