Shelly's survival guide

Cute shell patterns, pure joy!

Slowly but surely, Shelly the String of Turtles is guaranteed to steal your heart! Native to the lush Brazilian rainforests, this tiny, vining Peperomia is famous for her dainty, button-shaped leaves that look just like tiny turtle shells floating down delicate pinkish vines. Compact yet packed with detail, Shelly makes the ultimate addition to high shelves, hanging baskets, or bright windowsills. Because her foliage holds plenty of moisture, she is nice and forgiving if you skip a watering. Just give her plenty of bright, indirect light to keep those intricate turtle patterns looking vibrant, keep her out of soggy soil, and let her trail to your heart's content!

How to care for Shelly

The string of Turtles is a trailing plant with a variegated pattern that makes it look like little turtles are jumping out of its pot. They tolerate lower light conditions but for the best looking turtles, go with bright indirect light. Don't overdo it with the water though, you might think Donatello's little turtle friends love the water but these are actually the semi-succulent type, which means the plant stores water in its leaves. Water only when the top two inches have dried out. Turtle turtle go!
