String of turtles, otherwise known as Peperomia prostrata, is a type of trailing houseplant that's perfect for a high shelf or a hanging planter. They are similar to string of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) and string of hearts (Ceropegia woodii), but are distinguishable by the markings on their flat leaves. And they are just as simple to propagate.
All you need to do is take stem cuttings, which can then be planted in either a good-quality potting mix or into a jar of water. The whole process is incredibly quick – and roots should form in a matter of weeks – as long as you stay clear of the common houseplant propagation mistakes.
