This plant prefers well-drained soil. Soil is well-drained when it allows water to drain through it at a moderate rate, without pooling. Allow the soil to become visibly dry before watering.

This plant cannot tolerate a full day in full sun. But it does like partial sun and warmth. It appreciates humidity and moisture, but it will do fine in regular indoor conditions.

Also known as String of Turtles, Peperomia prostrata is a slow-growing perennial succulent and popular houseplant. The tiny, fleshy, ornamental leaves look delicate and attractive in hanging baskets. This vining plant is known to form a thick mat and then trail over the sides of a container. The plant does not produce significant flowers. When it does flower, the blooms are small, unscented, and cream-colored. But who needs flowers when you've got turtles?
