PLANT CARE & INFO

Light levels: String of turtles love lots of bright indirect light - keep away from direct sunlight as this will scorch the leaves.

Watering: This plant likes to be kept in lightly moist soil throughout the growing season but does require the soil to dry down more in the winter months. This plant can tolerate being on the drier side more so than the wet side so be mindful to not over-water. It is a good idea to increase the humidity surrounding the plant during the winter months.

Feeding: During the Spring/Summer growing season, use a slow-release liquid fertiliser once per month.

Growth: This beautiful plant grows at a moderate speed and in a compact form, it generally reaches maturity after 3-5 years.

Toxicity: This plant has a low level of toxicity if ingested so it's best to be kept out of reach of pets and children.

Air purifying: A great plant to have in the home to help eliminate any airborne toxins in the air
