I ordered 2 of these Peperomia prostrate plants. I order a lot from Josh’s Frogs & as always, the plants are well packaged, healthy, & thriving.

I pretty much put the vines on top of the moss and sprayed them everyday and they rooted about 4 days later. I like the way they trail down branches and the background. I bought only one plant and took cuttings from it to plant throughout the viv. A very easy plant to grow. Joshsfrogs has reliable shipping. Thanks.

These are great plants to care for and they are so pretty! They are reviewerd turtle vine for the shell like appearance on the leaves!

I had planned to keep this plant only as a houseplant initially but since I recently set up my first terrarium I chose to add this plant to the too. Wow, it grows and roots so fast in a terrarium. What a fantastic plant. I would definitely recommend the String of Turtles for terrariums and vivariums.
