Peperomia prostrata

String of Turtles

Easy careEpiphyteNon-toxic1050 cm

A trailing plant with tiny, round leaves patterned like turtle shells. Each leaf carries a network of pale veins over darker green. As an epiphyte, it naturally grows on other surfaces rather than deep in soil, so it does best in a loose, well-draining mix with high humidity.
