String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata) is a tiny succulent native to Brazilian rainforests that thrives in warm climates but adapts well to average household conditions. Because of this, it's a popular plant for houseplant collections and apartment jungles worldwide.
It's 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. The plant's attractive leaf shape also makes it a favorite terrariums or glass enclosure.
Light
String of turtles plants love bright indirect sunlight and will thrive in these conditions. Keeping these plants in full sun or bright light for too long will damage the leaves, but too little light and they will fail to produce new growth. Because of the vining nature of the plant, make sure light reaches the top of the plant so that it continues to produce new growth. Often, vining plants are placed on high shelves or areas without light, which causes the plant to stop producing new growth. Make sure light reaches all areas of the plant.
Soil
Those familiar with raising succulents may be used to using premixed soil that has been formulated especially for succulents and cacti. These premixes should not be used for string of turtles plants.
Water
String of turtles plants tend to suffer from overwatering more than they do dry conditions. The plant is native to the Brazilian rainforest, so it prefers slightly moist conditions. Make sure the pot has drainage holes, water well, then let the soil dry out between waterings.
Avoid overwatering by drenching the soil till water runs out the bottom of the pot, and the soil is thoroughly moist. Do not water the plant again until the top two inches of soil have dried out.

Mel is an awesome plant parent. Her plants are well taken care of and healthy. She has a wide variety to choose from. I will be ordering more of my wish list plants from her in the future.
My plant arrived secured in peanuts, cling wrap at the base, a heat pack in the box also!!! It was cold here in Ohio. It is the perfect bonsai and exact one in the picture. I love it, I’m so happy.
Mel sent the most beautiful Alocasia I have ever seen! Packaged so well and very healthy! Highly recommend!
I ordered the subscription box and was able to pick which plant I wanted for the dollar value of my subscription. Mel helped me find a good plant to help with my air quality in my main living space. She was knowledgeable about the plants’ care and when it arrived the plant did NOT disappoint! It arrived just as gorgeous as it was when I picked it. She shipped it out on Monday and it arrived today, Tuesday. The shipping was crazy fast! The plants were very well packaged with fragile labels on almost every side. There was dirt kicked around in the box, but not as much as I would expect when shipping a pot full of soil. I definitely will recommend 1000 times again! Oh! Also she ships with heat packs! My new babies didn’t have to suffer the cold! ☺️
Had some typical USPS shipping issues and my peperomia arrived missing a few leaves... Mel is amazing and has kept up with me ever since to make sure it recovered! Plant arrived like it was preparing to go to war and has been thriving ever since. Will definitely be ordering again!!
I am super happy with my order and will only buy plants from The Rooted Plant Shop!! My plants are stunning!
The rooted plant shop has been more than amazing! This is my second purchase through the rooted plant shop. Couldn’t be any happier. My first purchase was a boobie cactus and my second is a Verigated Frydek. They included complimentary heat packs so the plant baby’s stayed warm! I would recommend this shop for any needs! The owner is very helpful with questions also!
