Humidity

An occasional spray of mist is my beauty secret to looking fabulous!

Light

I can handle a little shade that's thrown my way, but I prefer to be in bright, indirect sunlight.

Watering

Everything in moderation is my motto, so I like to be watered little but often, keeping my soil moist.

Top tip

Peperomia thrives in warm, humid conditions, making it an excellent choice for bathrooms or kitchens. To maintain its compact and attractive shape, pinch back leggy growth occasionally. Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight, as it can fade or scorch its vibrant foliage. With its easy-care nature, Peperomia makes a perfect addition to any indoor plant collection.

About String of Turtles

Meet the String of Turtles, botanically known as Peperomia prostrata. This adorable trailing plant features tiny, round leaves that look just like little turtle shells. Its delicate vines spill beautifully, perfect for hanging baskets, terrariums, or tabletops. Hailing from Brazil’s rainforests, it loves warm, humid spots, bright indirect light, and well-draining soil to stay happy and healthy.

This slow-growing beauty stays compact, with vines reaching up to 50 cm in ideal conditions. Its tiny, marbled leaves with light green veins create a stunning decorative touch. While it may bloom with small brown flowers now and then, the lush, cascading foliage is the real star, adding charm to any indoor space.
