String of Turtles

String of Turtles, Peperomia prostrata, trails fine stems strung with tiny round leaves patterned like turtle shells. Native to South American rainforests, it enjoys warmth and bright, indirect light, thriving in contemporary interiors away from direct sun, with soil left to dry slightly between waterings. Grow it in small hanging pots or on shelves. Its delicate, intricately marked foliage brings a charming, collectible detail to bright spaces.
