Peperomia Prostrata Propagation - The ULTIMATE Guide!
Peperomia prostrata care and string of turtles propagation can be tricky but in this video I’ll show you the best string of turtles plant care. Taking peperomia prostrata cuttings is easy from a peperomia vine and this epiphytic plant quickly forms epiphytic roots making this one of the best epiphytic plant examples for a peperomia terrarium. Turtle plant care could not be easier and you will see how this peperomia prostrata plant is one of the easiest terrarium plants.

I swear, I'm buying a huge turtle plant this year and I'm going to try your methods out for sure! I've gotten the hang of it over these past few months and my little baby is finally starting to grow. I'm definitely ready to take on a bigger plant now that I've become accustomed to what this plant likes. Humidity and lots of it lol. The lava rock has worked out quite well for me so I really appreciate the tips and tricks that have worked for you. Have a wonderful day! I'm so ready to take this plant on again and I'm not giving up until I figure it out and have a beautiful plant of my own. I grow so many different things but this is by far the pickiest ever lol. Thanks so much again! I love your videos and set up!

I like how you explain what you need and what to do for a project. It’s simple and precise. I have to admit, the cadence of your voice is soothing to listen to. I’ve always wanted SOT, but hesitant to buy some because they seemed hard to take care of. I think I’ll give it a try and just make sure I have some lava rock handy, just in case. 💚

I did not know they liked high humidity! I bought a cutting off etsy and placed it on top of some wet coco coir/pumice mix and put it on my windowsill. All the plant has had is an open window next to it for the last 5 months, and I live in London, and it is growing like a beast! This is interesting, might try now to propagate it and grow the other one near a diffuser to see what happens. Thank you for the video! Easy on the ears and on the eyes.

I am a collector of plants and have fallen in love with these sort of succulents. I unfortunately just watched my string of hearts suffer the same way. I tried to propagate it but the moss I was using molded and they died. I just finally received a large string of turtles and do not want it to suffer in the same manner. The hearts did great in my south facing window for a while and were thriving but then all of a sudden, bleached and just died. I do not have the ability to put the turtles in a terrarium so how can I make sure they do well? Would a humidifier in the same room suffice?

I have a very happy string of turtles that is in a hanging pot. I keep it in my bathroom now d/t its moisture need but I am concerned about finding the perfect light situation. I had it in a south facing window and noticed that the strings themselves began to turn red and the turtle markings on the leaves are bleaching. I want to keep the markings of course, this is what attracted me to this plant but ate they like string of pearls in the way that they require light on the crown to stay full on top? Also, what kind of light does it have in its original environment. Can I grow it in a darker area of my home so longas there is moisture? I do not want it to go bald from lacking the right light but I am loosing all my largest turtle shells. The leaves are thick and healthy but you cannot see the markings. Do you have some advice for me? Also, I have propegated by strands planted into soil as well as just the leaves so long as the sister stem that attaches to the main stem is still attached. The leaf method takes a lot longer but if this plant starts is cactus soil, moss, perlite, and charcole, it does well. I hope you can answer my questions.

I had a big, beautiful mother plant that I had for many, many years! I started it when I lived in Santa Fe, NM from cuttings I had gotten from a friend online. That was around 2008. It made it through five moves, 2 in Santa Fe, then from Santa Fe to southern WA State and on to northern WA State to the Puget Sound area. I am on my third place here in that area and have lived here in my current place for about four years now. The plant made it through all those moves like a champ! I have taken dozens and dozens of cuttings from it over the years to make little gift plants for friends. Now, last Fall it suddenly just started slowly dying off! The plant was thick and gorgeous! Now it looks as though it's gone through chemo or something! It's really sad! No matter what I've done to try to help it, it's just sinking. I have now taken some cuttings from it from what's left and have started a few little plants but nothing is growing quite like that one did back at the beginning. At least, not yet. I'm going to try this method and see what happens! What do I have to lose! Right?

It can take a while to establish but Peperomia prostrata does put on a good few cm of growth per year, if the conditions are right. There are many variables that come into consideration; what kind of light is the plant getting? What kind of soil is it planted in? Is the atmosphere humid? Often, but not always, when a plant flowers it can be a sign of distress.

Hello! Substrate is another word for soil. SOT is notorious for melting away and its nearly always due to moisture retentive soil. If using cocopeat and perlite then make sure you add enough perlite to open up the soil. SOT prefers a well draining medium and higher humidity

There seems to be some confusion online about whether String of Turtles is classified as an epiphyte, it's typically considered a ground-dwelling or trailing plant rather than a true epiphyte. There are no scientific or research papers online that consider this plant a true epiphyte, only plant selling websites incorrectly labeling it as a epiphyte because of quotes like this "Most Peperomia species are epiphytes" it's not fair to generalize them all this way.. for string of turtles, in its natural habitat, it often grows as a ground cover or low-growing plant on the forest floor, rather than attaching itself to other plants or surfaces.

quite weird to see this layer , soil below, lava on top , might as well just use lava alone ?

That could work but it's nutrionally devoid which is why I added the soil layer.

Guess it hates the peat soil and prefer more bark if it grows on trees 🤔

@@WorcesterTerrariums I just want to say I really like your videos. You are an excellent teacher with a good tone. And your videography is good too. I dont know what you do for a living, but I think your should try to get some sponsorships so you can make some money for this great work you are doing. Look at Garden Answer on youtube. These two have built a business that supports their family.
