My String of Turtles Has Been Living in a Starbucks Cup

- My peperomia prostrata has finally outgrown his venti cup, so I'm moving him over to a more suitable home :) I'm really hoping this cloche works because its my last hope for keeping this baby alive. Otherwise... he's gonna have to move into a trenta. Not sure why, but I feel like this cloche is not going to keep the humidity high enough. All we can do now is hope the plant is established enough to stay alive

i’d love to see an update in a few months on how ur string of turtles is doing!!!
also, your care guide for how they’ve thrived in the starbucks cup (misting to water or fully saturating?)
hehe cutest little peperomia prostrata💞
Omg tater tot is the cutest, I felt bad bombarding my friends with pictures of my cats and plant so I just made an Instagram for all my cat and plant photos haha And I have been really wanting a variegated string of hearts, they are so pretty! Also new home for the little turtles looks perfect I hope it turns into a GIANT bowl of spaghetti for you haha
You seem so sweet and loving! My phone is also packed with pictures of my plants and dogs! #priorities
“I always show pictures of my plants to people and they literally don’t care”
Same 🥲🥲
Lmao, 😭
My little turtles currently live in a ziploc bag, they refuse to survive without it XD Yours look so cute in a cloche!
Same! I recieved 2 small cuttings and they weren't doing great until I covered them with a bag xD
since you asked for advice: if you're gonna have it in a south facing window with the cloche on it can get really hot under there, so watch out for that!
So interesting, my string of turtles just rotts if I put it in a terrarium environment,
Mine is thriving in mild to high temperatures, medium light (I keep it in an east facing window) terracotta pot & I exclusively bottom Water only if the turtles get thin & soft. Before it was a disaster 😅)
Yep, my phone is mostly pictures of dogs and plants 😁 You did a great job. I have a string of pearls that is now about 2 ‘ long I started by just putting a couple of little strings on top of the soil and keeping it moist until they rooted. Once rooted they don’t need much water. Be careful of your kitty and the plants. I know my string of pearls plant is toxic and can cause death if pets eat some. Love your videos.
If it helps...I have found the best way to keep my cat from a shelf or windowsill near my plants is to just put too many plants so there is no room for him to "land".
You are exactly right!!! 😂😂😂
If I move a couple plants and they see an open spot, they think it’s open for them. So I guess it’s not just my cats, too funny
String of plumpness. That looks amazingly happy, if not slightly too cared for. Lol. Just mwa! 💋
4:24 So what _haven't_ you put in that mix? 🤣
Another fabulous video.. ❤️❤️🌷🌷
I'm sure we'd all love to see more pictures! They are beautiful ❤️
Im glad you took a chance to potted it. I bottom water mine. Its next to window, lots of indirect sun light, with the window open. I also live in LA and its doing well. I took your advice when taking plants out of the bag, so let it acclimate slowly. Im sure come winter ill close the window and prevent from freezing :-)
Hope your turtles grow big for you. 😀 Tater Tot, what a cute name. 💚
Aw... I liked the acorn idea, but I'm glad the other pot worked out... Lovely!
I saw you put yours in that cup and I ended up putting a plastic cup lid over mine and wow, it grew so much. I just put it into a plastic container I got from the dollar store. Still growing. I started with a few small strands and a couple pieces and it is growing like crazy now. So thanks for the tip.
I also keep pictures of all my plants, just to see how big they have gotten and to show uninterested people. 😂 My dog is also on my phone.
Erika out here living her best life ☺❤
string of turtles are the most delicate plants lol! I'm always ripping them & propagating again
I love the string of turtles but it's a picky plant for sure lol. Thanks for sharing this video with us. I can't wait until mine gets big and full too😊
They aren't as fragile when they aren't super hydrated like that. Same reason one waits to do rootwork until the soil is dry, far less easy to damage that way.
Try it in Lechuza (or DIY Pon) ! I had string of pearls grow about 1/2" in a year, then I tried Lechuza and it grew about 2" in 6 months.
very cool i love it!!
I got a 6in. string of turtles from pistils nursery, I believe. I keep it in a south facing window (medium to bright indirect light) and try not to let it dry out, they like to stay on the moist side so hoping after while the cloche won't be necessary. I also have a string of turtles, hoya curtsii, and variegated string of hearts that I put in a fish bowel and the string of turtles basically out grew everything else, lol. I like your black container, I also got mine from dollar tree (it's a car oil drainer container) and I use it to bottom water.❤💚❤💚
I bought a few little cuttings on eBay a year ago or so. I put them in a jar terrarium to get bigger and now I have 2 small pots of them.🪴 Great idea using the glass dome.
I love how you're using (what looks pretty similar to) an oil drip pan for soil LOL I'm a mechanic & plant lover and definitely support this
lol it definitely is an oil drip pan 💀
I use the same thing! Dollar tree for the planty win! 🙌💚🙌
I have never had any luck with these types of succulents. But going to keep trying till I get it right.
I love peperomia but this one I don’t have (because of how fragile) but yours looks great! Be careful when watering because you bumped it up into a much larger pot and peperomiashave tiny-fine roots and you don’t want root rot :) if you like the look or vibe of this plant I would recommend the peperomia Ruby cascade, not as fragile and grows really fast 😄 one of my favs!
Happy turtles 🐢:) they will do great!
I worry the dome will slide or tilt and harm the turtles . What if you stick some skewers inside the pot edge? Just a thought, I just got a good sizes string of turtles and am hoping mine will someday grow as big as yours. Great video!
Love your plant collection.
I bought 2 cuttings online cause I wouldn’t find them anywhere near me, they’re still unrooted 1 month later but still plump and ones flowering 😂 I don’t get it!!
Nice plant hospital logo 🏥🌱💚🥳
This is hilarious because I use the Starbucks cups to propagate too 🤣🤣
I just got my little string of turtles its been living in a cup too lol and a variegated string of pearls this is a good idea I think I will try to do the same thing if I can find a top like yours. Thanks this has been a great help .
Onggg i first saw a little tubberware container of bebe string of turtles and ommmgg they’re the cutest!!!! I haven’t seen them so teeennnyyy hahaha
I wish you showed how you watered it, most of the time I find it quite difficult with these plants.
Bottom water it
As well as fertilize with orchid spray
I honestly don't get why you would keep some kind of peperomias like this in household humidity. Mine is living in my terrarium and it is the fastest ground cover ever after it had acclimated, truly thriving. Wishing you luck with yours! 💚
Could you please put the link for what grow light you have? I love your videos!
I WANT STRING OF TURTLES. 😫
People don't really sell them where I live though, so I'll probably have to look online somewhere.
Erika you struck a cord! Having same struggle with my SOT. I’m going to copy you and put mine under a cloche. Hope it woks ✌️❤️
This is great, I keep loosing mine too, I’m going to try this idea 🌿❤️
Cloche=cheesekeeper dome? LoL
It’s weird how our Peperomia prostrata it’s like plumpy tiny miniature succulent which I love, I ask nursery about the watering he said just like succulent, I put it next to the window in my bathroom n only bottom watering once a week. As we knows how fragile it is, there’s a string fell so I try to find a way to propagate, I’m just scared if the watering or sun is too much for it.
Will be a good lesson to see how it does.
I am glad you can work with fragile plants so well, sad to say I had to give up on fragile plants. The string of turtles is looking good now, I wish it the best of luck with the new home. Did you see the little cat pot I think that little guy didn't make it. I can sit and talk about my plants forever, people dont want to hear it either, I take photos of my trees some of the rally nice ones people will like but not the in training ones. A great vid, were you a little awkward in the start of the video? 😊
Do an update please :D
love you vids i just subbed,your string of turtles looks amazing
I used to propagate a bunch of string of turtles which were so happy until i repot them outside of it's humid container and they throw fit and now left with 2 2inch pot🤷🏻♀️
Mine is out side I let the soil get super dry the plant is weightless but the leaves are succulent firm. How crazy . I treat mine like a succulent. I haven’t transplanted it from home depot. The roots are full yet
I love ur videos so much
I wish I had this video a month ago 😭 I bought one at a grocery store, it looked kinda like how yours did in the beginning but it ended up dying 🥲. I tried to propagate all the leaves that fell off but didnt have too much luck.. Would definitely love to see an update!
gonna do this with mine it died back so much 🙄
Update!?!
Mine is very successful in the bathroom
What is the tape called that h put over the hole in the terra cotta pot??
Honestly? Let it die back a bit. Lol. It'll adapt to the rooms humidity. It'll just take a few weeks or months.
💚💚
Mine like a tight pot south facing
Nice pilant tips valo
thats a cheese dome.
