🌿 Wyrd Plant Co. Care Card

🌞 Light: Bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sunlight.

💧 Water: Allow the soil to dry almost completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.

💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50% or higher) but adapts well to average household conditions with proper watering.

🌱 Soil: A light, well-draining soil mix designed for epiphytic plants. A blend of potting soil, perlite, orchid bark, and a small amount of coco coir works well.

🌿 Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.

🐾 Pet Safety: Considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

🌎 Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

🌿 About This Plant

String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata) is a charming trailing houseplant loved for its tiny round leaves patterned like miniature turtle shells. Native to the rainforests of South America, this unique peperomia grows along the forest floor and over tree branches, creating cascading vines that become more beautiful as they mature.

Its compact size and slow-growing nature make it an excellent choice for shelves, hanging planters, terrariums, or plant cabinets. Whether displayed on its own or mixed into a collection of rare foliage plants, String of Turtles adds texture, character, and a touch of whimsy to any indoor space.
