Peperomia Prostrata 'Chain of Turtles'
Peperomia prostrata , known as the string of turtles, is a fascinating houseplant. It stands out for its small, round, dark green leaves with silvery patterns, reminiscent of a turtle's shell. This succulent plant, native to the tropical forests of South America, is perfect for hanging baskets or pots, thanks to its creeping or drooping stems.
Care:
-
Light : Place it in a bright spot, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn its delicate leaves. Bright indirect light is ideal.
-
Watering : Water moderately, allowing the substrate to dry completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as its roots are susceptible to rot.
-
Humidity : Enjoys moderate to high ambient humidity, but adapts well to normal indoor conditions.
-
Temperature : Prefers temperatures between 18 and 24 °C. Protect it from drafts and cold.
-
Substrate : Use a well-draining mix, such as succulent substrate or a potting soil-sand mix.
-
Fertilizer : Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted liquid houseplant fertilizer.
-
Repotting : Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes cramped in its pot.
-
Size : Prune lightly if necessary to encourage more compact growth.
Bonus tip : Peperomia prostrata is non-toxic and suitable for homes with pets. It is ideal for plant lovers looking for a space-saving and easy-to-maintain option.
