To care for a String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata), provide bright, indirect light, water when the topsoil is dry, use a well-draining mix, and maintain a warm environment, avoiding temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Here's a more detailed guide:
Light:
- String of Turtles thrive in bright, indirect light.
- Avoid direct sunlight, especially for smaller or younger plants.
- East or west-facing windows offer good indirect light.
- If natural light is insufficient, consider using grow lights.
Watering:
- Water when the topsoil feels dry to the touch.
- Allow the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings.
- Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's better to err on the side of caution and underwater.
- Bottom watering is a good option, allowing the plant to absorb water from the bottom without wetting the leaves.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining potting mix.
- A mix of succulent or cactus mix with perlite or pumice can help with drainage.
- Avoid heavy, clay-based soil that retains too much moisture.
