The String of Turtles plant (\u003cem\u003ePeperomia prostrata\u003c\/em\u003e) is a tiny trailing gem whose round, coin-sized leaves are patterned like little turtle shells - deep green marbled with silvery veins - strung along delicate, cascading stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the rainforests of Brazil, it's a compact, semi-succulent peperomia that stores water in its plump leaves.
