String of Turtles

String of Turtles (Peperomia Prostrata, Turtle Vine, Jade Necklace) is a evergreen vine with small, round, and fleshy leaves resembled the shells of tiny turtles. The leaves are typically dark green with intricate white or silvery vein patterns that form a turtle-shell-like appearance. As the leaves mature, they may develop a slightly reddish or purple hue on the undersides. The stems are thin, delicate, and typically a light green color. String of Turtles is a trailing or creeping plant that grows in a mat-like formation. It can spill over the sides of containers, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a trailing plant on a shelf. The plant is slow-growing and remains relatively small, with the trailing stems reaching about 12 inches in length over time. The unique appearance of the leaves adds a decorative element to any indoor space, especially when grown in hanging pots where the trailing stems can be showcased.
