String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata)
The String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata) is a collector favorite known for its cascading vines patterned with tiny leaves that resemble turtle shells. Native to Brazil, this plant thrives as a trailing houseplant that adds character to shelves, hanging planters, or display tables.
At Plant Vault, we offer three sizes:
- 4” Pot – A perfect starter size with well-established vines ready to grow and trail.
- 6” Pot – A lush, fuller option ideal for instant impact in any space.
- Massive – This size is seriously overflowing in width and length, creating a dramatic display. Because String of Turtles prefers a tighter-fitting pot, this massive size is especially dense and , giving you a plant with unmatched fullness.
Care Guide: Easy care. Provide bright, indirect light, let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and add trace amounts of fertilizer at every watering for steady growth.
Shipping Note: Some leaf loss in transit is completely normal for String of Turtles and will not affect the health of your plant.
