About the plant:
Peperomia, or pepper plant, is a plant from the pepper family (yes, this includes black pepper). Peperomia prostrata is a small plant with leaves whose pattern resembles a tortoise shell. That's why it bears the nickname string of turtles. These peppercorns also have the beautiful Czech name Želvičky. If you give the plant enough light, it will grow really fast.
They are most naturally found in South and Central America, but a few species can also be found in Africa. More than 1,500 species have been recorded in tropical and subtropical regions. It is an epiphyte that is often found growing on rotting wood.

Light

The plant needs enough diffused light for healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight, which could burn the leaves. The ideal site is the north and east side near the windows or the west side with fading weak sunlight.

Watering

We water adequately, we always wait for the substrate to dry out, it has really fragile roots that can rot with excessive watering.

Humidity

This is a tropical plant that requires increased humidity. You can mist it regularly.

Propagation

The easiest way is propagation using leaves that can be rooted in water. It is also possible to use stem leaves or cuttings, which we stick into a mixture of peat and sand. We cover this with foil, which we remove from time to time and moisten the soil. After rooting, transplant into soil.

Common problems

Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop.
Brown spots on leaves: Burning leaves from direct sunlight, watering with lime water.
The plant does not grow: We have to transplant the plant, soil without nutrients, not enough light.
Bugs, nematodes: We deal with special sprays.
