Peperomia prostrata

Peperomia prostrata, commonly known as String of Turtles, or Turtle Necklace, is a creeping plant with small round leaves ranging from dark green to purple, with a pattern of lighter veins reminiscent of a turtle's shell. This small, drooping plant is fairly fast growing and is perfect in a hanging basket or on the edge of a shelf. It can also be used as a creeping plant.

Peperomia prostrata likes to be watered a little more than many other succulents, but remains sensitive to root rot. That is why we prefer small containers and we make sure that the soil dries very well between each watering.
