Peperomia prostrata - Baby
Description
-
Meet the charming Peperomia prostrata, also known as the String of Turtles. This plant is a real eye-catcher because of its unique growth habit and striking leaf pattern. The Peperomia prostrata has small round leaves that resemble turtle shells and are arranged on drooping stems, giving the plant the appearance of forming a green carpet. With its compact and creeping growth, this plant is perfect for hanging pots, planters or as a ground cover.
Grooming
Peperomia prostrata thrives best in bright, indirect light. Place the plant in a location with adequate light, but avoid direct sunlight, as this can damage the leaves. This plant needs moderate humidity, so regular misting or placing a humidifier nearby will help keep it healthy. Keep the soil slightly moist and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
The Peperomia prostrata is a succulent plant and therefore has a moderate water requirement. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings before watering again. In the winter months, watering can be reduced, because the plant is at rest. It is important to grow the plant in well-draining potting soil to allow excess moisture to drain.
Peperomia prostrata is generally not bothered by pests. However, check regularly for signs of pests, such as spider mites, and treat with a suitable pesticide if necessary.
With its unique leaf pattern and hanging habit, Peperomia prostrata is a wonderful addition to any plant collection. This plant is easy to care for and adds a playful and green accent to your interior.
