String of Turtles

The String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata) is a charming trailing plant native to the rainforests of Brazil, prized for its tiny, round leaves adorned with intricate patterns that resemble a turtle’s shell. This slow-growing plant thrives in bright, indirect light and humid environments, making it a favourite for terrariums or as an accent in hanging baskets.

Interestingly, its compact size and low-maintenance nature make it ideal for small spaces, and it’s a great choice for beginner plant enthusiasts. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the String of Turtles is part of the Peperomia family, known for its air-purifying qualities, adding both beauty and function to your indoor space.
