String of Turtles Succulent

Botanical Name: Peperomia Prostrata Common Name(s): String of Turtles Description: This tiny little Brazilian native succulent that thrives in a climate that mimics those found in the average house. It is small in size and has a slow growth rate, reaching full maturity in three to five years. That same leaf shape is what gives the plant its common name. Each one 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. String of Turtles are rare trailing succulents with interesting leaves resembling the shell pattern of a turtle. It has interesting foliage of bright green and brown speckles. It's an easy hanging plant to grow as long as you do not overwater because strings of turtles are prone to root rot.    String of Turtles Care Watering Water every
