String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata) (Williams): Rare and utterly charming trailing succulent.
This adorable plant grows long, cascading stems covered with coin-like leaves that resemble turtle backs. The lime green leaves have a somewhat marbled pattern and are slightly succulent. This South American species makes a fantastic house plant, particularly hanging near a sunny window.
It is a slow grower, but mature plants can grow stems around 12.0" long. Leaves can fall off easily with handling but will eventually re-sprout. These need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
