Ceropegia “String of Turtles” Tropicals | 4″ Pot

The String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata) is a tiny Brazilian native succulent that thrives in a climate typically found in the home. This is why it is featured in houseplant collections. It is small in size and has a slow growth rate, reaching full maturity in three to five years. This makes string of turtles a good choice if you have limited space. That same leaf shape is what gives the plant its common name. Each leaf looks like the shell of a miniature turtle strung together. Every tiny leaf on its trailing vine has intricate multi-colored patterns covering its surface. The colors become muted with age and eventually become bicolored by maturity, usually a darker green contrasted by light green.
