Peperomia Prostata

Peperomia Prostata (String of Turtles) is a delicate succulent native to Brazilian rainforests. This tiny bundle of life has little leaves that look like a miniature turtle shell, making it a great conversation piece. It adapts very well to indoor houseplant conditions, and reaches full maturity in 3-5yrs, making it a great choice for small spaces like fairy gardens, container gardens and terrariums.
