Peperomia prostrata

This may be our favorite houseplant. Incredibly easy care, it’s so great for beginners, but also not something you see everywhere and truly lovely! Its beautifully patterned leaves look like teeny turtle shells!

String of Turtles is our favorite ‘string of’ houseplant because it is much more tolerant of a range of light and moisture than others. Grow it in everything from a sunny window to a lower shelf receiving no direct or bright light. The variegation in the tiny adorable leaves is best when in indirect/diffused light–so it rivals string of hearts for being able to handle lower light spots. The succulent leaves hold water and therefore can tolerate forgetful plant parents (underwatering is better than overwatering much like most strings).

It looks great and works well in small pots (being a slower grower), but can also trail beautifully in hanging containers as it matures. Plus it's an adorable favorite for fairy gardens and terrariums. 

We have 4.5” pots for $10.00

(and a limited amount of 6” hanging baskets on sale this week for $12.00)!

A very affordable new plant friend!
