Turtle vine plant is a perennial, ornamental, creeping herb with purplish stems, rooting at the nodes and often forming dense mats. The leaves are evergreen, simple, ovate with entire margins, waxy and measure up to 4 cm long and 2 cm wide, acute at the tip and rounded at the base and grayish-green in color.
The Turtle vine plant lower surface of the leaf is purple. Colder temperatures have a tendency to bring out more purple. The blooms are small, and white in color. It blossoms from late spring to early fall. Turtle Vine can be used in containers or pots, ground cover, and hanging basket.
Light: Turtle Vine grows well in partial sun to partial shade. If the pot is placed at least 50 centimeters behind the window hot summer sun will be tolerated. During summer a spot in the garden or on the balcony is welcome. There it has to be slowly accustomed to the sun, which is no longer filtered through a window.
Soil: Regular mixes for container plants, cacti, and succulents, herbs and vegetables can be used. If leaves and shoots are to be fed to turtles or birds, I would use vegetable or herbal soil. These mixes contain organic fertilizers.
Watering: Allow the soil to nearly dry between the waterings. Water sparingly if placed cool to temperate during winter. Avoid overwatering. Drying out for a short time will be tolerated.
