Peperomia Prostrata | String of Turtles (S)

Donatello hides some serious ninja skills under that canopy of his. At night, he'll keep the rest of your green amigo's from wandering out in the dark, hanging with the wrong crowd. Watching over the others gets kinda tiring though, so be nice to him and don't stress him out by over-watering. He's got a magic super power which is storing water in his leaves. Save it for a not-so-rainy day, you know!

How to care for Donatello

The string of Turtles is a trailing plant with a variegated pattern that makes it look like little turtles are jumping out of its pot. They tolerate lower light conditions but for the best looking turtles, go with bright indirect light. Don't overdo it with the water though, you might think Donatello's little turtle friends love the water but these are actually the semi-succulent type, which means the plant stores water in its leaves. Water only when the top two inches have dried out. Turtle turtle go!
