Did you know...?
Peperomia prostrata is a gorgeous trailing plant native to the Brazilian rainforest. It thrives in warm climates but adapts well to household conditions making it a popular pick for every plant nerd's collection. The amazing variegation on the leaves have given this plant its nickname 'String of Turtles'.
A bright room receiving indirect light is ideal. This plant likes to have moist soil but not saturated, ensure you don't over water and let the top few inches dry out before giving a drink. We recommend a small drink each week in the summer and every 2-3 weeks in the winter months.
