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.
