I love those turtle plant terraniums you have hangingin your window. So adorable! I'm currently looking for a turtle planter for my peperomia prostrata, but this is also a great idea that I think I'm going to try! Thanks for sharing this video and info with us🌱 Tuurrrtle,..Turrrtle 🐢🐢 lol Happy growing😉
Thanks so much for your video. I just got my first peperomia prostrata and try to give it what it needs and I think all your insights will help me a lot.
With my experience I feel like it gets more pale with more light. I have to pay attention to mine a little bit more and see if that’s really the truth or not tho. 💚🌱☺️
Hands down best video iv came across for propagating STRING OF TURTLES, going to try your methods, iv only ever did it with Cannabis plants, never thought to try it with these guys :) have 2 variations of string plants a succulent I will b turning their living quarters jnto a more Terrarium Like habitat :) Could these guys live with any other succulents in glass? The zebra plants or w.e it is? It's a succulent with hard texture and point leaves hard to the touch. Can't think of the name atm
It’s a great way to propagate these kinda plants. String of anything....pearls, hearts, and etc. As for planting with succulent it might or might not work...since they have different kind of watering requirements right? I dunno you can try a small piece to try. 💚🌱
Hi Erica. Your peperomia prostrata looks great. I love how you arranged it in the glass vessel. Thanks for the propagation tips too. Thanks for sharing everything. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings!
We use tap water. Our plants don’t mind it. When watering the glass containers we just tilt it and pour water in or water it over the sink. 😊💚🌱 also we water when it’s dry.
Would you recommend to put them im a propagation box? I put my sot cuttings on top of the soil in a pot and just decided to put it in my propagation box. But not too sure about that.. Thank you🌱
The turtles prefer a bright location. I believe a south and east facing window would work best. Be careful because too strong of a light exposure would also hurt the plant. I do have some cuttings around darker areas of my house and they seem to be doing fine. Just monitor your plants. They will let you know if they are happy or not.
Yes. If a leaf (a healthy one) falls off by mistake just lay it back on top of the soil and it should root for you and grow into its own little plant. Make sure soil is moist and not too wet. 😁💚🌱
We use whatever we have around the house. Either regular potting mix with added perlite or maybe cactus succulent mix. It really doesn’t matter what you use...just need to monitor it and make sure to water it when it’s thirsty. 😁💚🌱
Does anyone know why it’s wilting at the end of the tip, had mine for 2 weeks now haven’t water it cause I felt like it still moist since is winter now .. ☺️
Sorry that you're having trouble with your plants. It's hard to say what's wrong with your plant. Could be water....lighting...temps...or the soil you're using. Just try different things to see if it changes the status of the plant. If it's really doing bad then maybe take some cuttings to try to save it. Wish you luck!
I'm getting mine tomorrow. It's my first plant and idk what im doing lol. Any tips? My biggest concern is watering. I want to get a shallow well drained pot I think. Ive thought of getting those glass globes u fill with water and put in the soil. Im so nervous!!! Thank you 🥰
Water then sparingly. They have succulent leaves so I feel like they can go longer without water. Let it dry out between watering and they should do just fine. 😊💚🌱🐢
We really didn’t do anything special here. It was just something we threw together quickly...with some soil mixture ( succulent cactus soil with perlite added). In the future if we ever make one we would add other things like charcoal and maybe even some sand. We will try to make a video on a terrarium in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
hi there, thanks for sharing ! i just got my prostrata the kind of glass terrarium that you're keeping yours in in the video. at first i was pretty worried that i might kill them because i can be quite heavy handed on the watering side sometimes, but after 2 weeks in i feel like they're actually happier kept within this glass terrarium, putting out lots of baby leaves here and there. i think they are really liking the humidity. and not to mention they also look good in these glass terrariums, haha ! one thing that i'm still wondering with my prostrata is that the older leaves can look somewhat washed out and i don't know whether they're getting too much or not enough sunlight. although the newer leaves do come out with more prominent markings but i've noticed that the leaf markings on your prostrata are very prominent throughout all of its leaves. any tips maybe, or do you fertilize them?
It seems like you're doing exactly what you're suppose to be doing. If they look happy i won't change your routine. Also I believe the older ones are much lighter in color compared to the new leaves. That's how mine has been growing. Also we don't fertilize much but when we do might a very light dosage during the spring and summer.
We use whatever potting medium we have around the house. Which is usually potting soil or succulent cactus mix and of course perlite mixed it to which ever soil we use. Which ever medium you use just make sure you monitor it and water it only when it’s needed. 😊💚🌱
Debi Hediger Best of luck on your small cutting! I just purchased one yesterday in the Central Valley! Fingers crossed they turn into beautiful lush turtles! 💚
Sharon Buening hi. This video was for you. Thanks for the suggestion. There are no layers. Just cactus and also regular potting soils. Whatever I have handy. And I do add extra perlite. 💚~Erica

Would be great if you could clarify how often you water them
cute!
Thanks 🌱💚🌸😊
omg what's that cactus in the back? 3 black ones
Tephrocactus articulatus var. papyracanthus also known as the Paper Spine Cactus
I propagated with water, plant turned out great!
Thanks so much for your video. I just got my first peperomia prostrata and try to give it what it needs and I think all your insights will help me a lot.
Hey! What are the lovely leaves in the terrarium next to the SOTs at 6:35?
Chelsie V inside the terrarium next to the little doll? Its the Fittonia...also known as the nerve plant.
Got Plants? Thanks 😍
Do you find that they get darker in the bright light?
With my experience I feel like it gets more pale with more light. I have to pay attention to mine a little bit more and see if that’s really the truth or not tho. 💚🌱☺️
These hanging glass planters are such a good idea! I love them!
They are awesome. Check your local dollar stores or crafts stores. They always have them for sale. 😁💚🌱

I will b turning their living quarters jnto a more Terrarium Like habitat :)

They are very delicate....found so many leaves in my car later
They are...don't throw those leaves away....you can make so many babies with them. Im worried to repot mine because of this issue. 😊💚🌱
Hi Erica. Your peperomia prostrata looks great. I love how you arranged it in the glass vessel. Thanks for the propagation tips too. Thanks for sharing everything. Have a wonderful weekend. Blessings!
From Mrs Abbie thanks! Have a wonderful weekend as well! 💚~Erica
Hi, how do you water the ones in the glass containers? do you use a syringe? tap water? do you water once a week?
We use tap water. Our plants don’t mind it. When watering the glass containers we just tilt it and pour water in or water it over the sink. 😊💚🌱 also we water when it’s dry.
Would you recommend to put them im a propagation box? I put my sot cuttings on top of the soil in a pot and just decided to put it in my propagation box. But not too sure about that.. Thank you🌱
insom nia propagation box of course helps. It with the heat and humidity in the box it would encourage it to root faster. 💚🌱
Do you recommend top watering or bottom watering?
We top water most of the time. It really doesn’t matter... just water it the way you want to. ☺️💚🌱
Would you consider selling one of the smaller ones?
Daisy Baldwin yes. Do you have Instagram? Could you direct message me there? My IG is @blooming_botanist.
Blooming Botanist I sent you a message
Is a west facing window ok?
The turtles prefer a bright location. I believe a south and east facing window would work best. Be careful because too strong of a light exposure would also hurt the plant. I do have some cuttings around darker areas of my house and they seem to be doing fine. Just monitor your plants. They will let you know if they are happy or not.
Will just using the leaves of this plant cause it to grow ?
Yes. If a leaf (a healthy one) falls off by mistake just lay it back on top of the soil and it should root for you and grow into its own little plant. Make sure soil is moist and not too wet. 😁💚🌱
Hi what soil do you use for your string of turtles?
We use whatever we have around the house. Either regular potting mix with added perlite or maybe cactus succulent mix. It really doesn’t matter what you use...just need to monitor it and make sure to water it when it’s thirsty. 😁💚🌱
Does anyone know why it’s wilting at the end of the tip, had mine for 2 weeks now haven’t water it cause I felt like it still moist since is winter now .. ☺️

I love those bases with your plants, what type of substrate do you use
Just regular cactus succulent mix with added perlite. 💚🌱

Can you make a video on how you make terrariums for this. I have 3 in terricotta but I'd like to do what you did here.

In the future if we ever make one we would add other things like charcoal and maybe even some sand. We will try to make a video on a terrarium in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.
Nice video, it's great to see how the different vessels and conditions have turned out for this plant! :)
CherrieBee Glad you liked it. Thanks! 😁💚🌱
Love this video-full of useful information! Your string of turtles are so adorable!😍I’ll be on the lookout for some now! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks. I'm glad you find it helpful. 😊💚🌱 Hope you find your turtles soon!! 🐢🐢🐢
Got Plants? Thanks!
Got a tiny one today :D Hope I'm able to keep it alive.
It shouldn't be too hard. They grow pretty easy and pretty fast...for us at least. Gluck!! 🐢💚🌱
Loved this! Yours have grown like crazy! This was so helpful💕 I need to give a hanging glass vessel a try😊
Deya glad to like this. I trimmed it a little after this video. It's outgrowing the containers. Thanks for watching. 💚~Erica
hi there, thanks for sharing ! i just got my prostrata the kind of glass terrarium that you're keeping yours in in the video. at first i was pretty worried that i might kill them because i can be quite heavy handed on the watering side sometimes, but after 2 weeks in i feel like they're actually happier kept within this glass terrarium, putting out lots of baby leaves here and there. i think they are really liking the humidity. and not to mention they also look good in these glass terrariums, haha ! one thing that i'm still wondering with my prostrata is that the older leaves can look somewhat washed out and i don't know whether they're getting too much or not enough sunlight. although the newer leaves do come out with more prominent markings but i've noticed that the leaf markings on your prostrata are very prominent throughout all of its leaves. any tips maybe, or do you fertilize them?

What type of fertilizer do you use and soil?
Great video! Full of lots of useful tips!! 💚

Hi I love how looks like your plant. What is the medium that you use? Soil mixture?
We use whatever potting medium we have around the house. Which is usually potting soil or succulent cactus mix and of course perlite mixed it to which ever soil we use. Which ever medium you use just make sure you monitor it and water it only when it’s needed. 😊💚🌱
Omg String of turtles is just so adorable, I haven’t seen one in person yet but it looks so small and cute 🐢🌱💚😍 awesome video and great information 😀
Linda Perez the Prostrata is one of my favorite. Cute and easy to care for. Hope you can find one soon. 😁💚🌱
Cute plant!
I have one too😊
Great tips! 👍
Treasures of Plantz yes. Love the cute little leaves. ~Erica
I just can’t keep these damn cuties alive! I’ve killed 2 now. 😭😭😢
Oh no...how did it happen?
@@GotPlants for me it started rotting - despite not being overwatered :'(
@@nebulow Oh no...hope you were able save it with some cuttings.
So cute, and I don’t see them here in the Central Valley of California. I have a very small cutting, and have high hopes.
Debi Hediger your small cutting should grow quickly. Good luck! 💚~Erica
Debi Hediger Best of luck on your small cutting! I just purchased one yesterday in the Central Valley! Fingers crossed they turn into beautiful lush turtles! 💚
jeanlandean Where in the Central Valley???
Debi Hediger I’m from Modesto but I found the plant at The Secret Garden in Elk Grove!! It’s around 2-3” but very dense and happy 😊
jeanlandean I just got one from Taylor Gardens. I live in Livingston. Do you ever go to Poot’s Cactus Nursery?
I love peperomias! Your prostratas look so awesome! I probably underwater mine and it does good too!!
Stef Hall the fact that it's easy to care for makes me love the plant more. This one seems to thrive in all sorts of conditions. 💚~Erica
Found it at Lowe’s for 10.99. There was only two !
You get both? Such a beautiful plant. One of our favorites. 😊💚🌱
Thank you for the tips, one more thing what type of soil is in your terrariums? Do you have layers of different substrates?
Sharon Buening hi. This video was for you. Thanks for the suggestion. There are no layers. Just cactus and also regular potting soils. Whatever I have handy. And I do add extra perlite. 💚~Erica
Can I get a cutting??
If you want to buy some cuttings feel free to DM me on IG. My IG handle is Gotplants88.
