Peperomia prostrata

Radiator Plant

String-of-turtles charm in a compact, beginner-friendly form.

Peperomias tolerate a range of cases. Trailing types add interest without overwhelming smaller vessels.

Why it works

Semi-succulent leaves buffer small watering mistakes, yet still enjoy terrarium humidity.

Watering notes

Allow the top of the mix to ease off between light waterings. Less thirsty than fittonia.

Care tips

Trail over cork or stone.
Avoid burying the crown deeply.
Trim to encourage branching.

Common problems

Leaf drop after cold shock.
Rot if sealed and overwatered together.
Stretching in deep shade.
