Just like fruit & veg, plants come in all shapes and sizes. Some might not come top of a beauty contest, but they'll still put a smile on your face for years to come. Our Perfectly Imperfect Plants are exactly that.
They might be a strange shape or have an odd mark, but they're still beautiful. No matter which way these plants grow, or the marks they show, they're still as healthy as every other plant we sell.
What are my imperfections?
- I'm just a little bit bear on top, apart from that I'm looking good!
- As I'm not 'perfect', I can't be returned, and I'm not covered by a guarantee
Donatello, a String of Turtles, or Peperomia Prostrata, is a miniature member of the Peperomia family with variegated leaves resembling the shell of a turtle!
Native to South America, Donatello is happy either trailing down the side of a pot or creeping along surfaces, eventually creating a mat-like structure. He won't grow too big, so he's great for a desk, but make sure you're careful because he's delicate!
Perfectly Imperfect, String of Turtles
Donatello prefers bright indirect light, without prolonged exposure to direct sun - a touch of morning sunlight however would be welcomed.
If you’re not sure what level of light you have, check the shadows cast by your plant:
- Minimal shadow = lower light
- Half shadow = indirect light
- Full shadow = direct sun
