String of Turtles care guide

Light requirements:
Bright, indirect light is ideal. It’ll tolerate lower light, but growth will be slower. Keep it away from direct sun to avoid leaf scorch.

Watering:
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly and allow soil to dry out between waterings. Don’t let it sit in water.

Feeding:
Feed once a month in spring and summer. We recommend our vegan, organic Original Plant Food designed for tropical foliage…

Humidity:
Normal home humidity is fine, though it thrives with added mist or in a more humid spot like a bathroom or kitchen.

Pet safety:
Mildly toxic if ingested—keep it out of reach of curious pets.

Propagation:
Easy to propagate from stem cuttings. Root in water or moist soil and watch it take off.

Why choose this plant?

  • Charming, turtle-shell-patterned leaves

  • Compact, low-maintenance trailing habit

  • Perfect for small spaces or terrariums

  • A thoughtful, stylish gift

  • Grows into a soft, leafy cascade

Perfect for Sensitive Skin Without Feeling Heavy
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have very sensitive skin and finding a facial moisturizer that hydrates well without causing irritation can be a challenge. This one has been fantastic. It feels lightweight going on but still gives enough moisture that my skin stays soft and comfortable all day. No strong fragrance, no burning, no breakouts, just simple and effective skincare. I also really like that it layers well under makeup and doesn’t leave my face feeling greasy or sticky. The ceramides and hyaluronic acid make my skin feel healthier and more balanced overall. Vanicream continues to be one of the few brands my skin consistently tolerates well. I’ve already repurchased this and will keep using it.

Good for sensitive skin, zero fragrance, leaves skin soft and moisturized!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I got this to go along with my Vanicream sensitive skin cleanser, and I'm very happy with it! It is a little more liquidy than cream-like, but it absorbs into skin well and leaves it feeling soft and moisturized. Great for sensitive skin and completely free of fragrance, with a shorter ingredient list that gives me more peace of mind. Very pleased with this, try it!

Great Value for a Good Moisturizer (5- Stars)
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This moisturizer contains nothing fancy — and that’s the whole point. The ingredients are few but effective, with several ceramides and hyaluronic acid for deep and long-lasting hydration. Best of all, it contains no silicones or parabens. Because it’s noncomedogenic, it doesn’t cause breakouts from clogged pores. Since I have sensitive skin, all of the above are critical for my skin care routine. It’s about as simple and as effective as a cream can get. Because of that, it doesn’t contains any sunscreen, retinol, or other anti-wrinkle components.

Medium weight minimal ingredient moisturizer!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As with another review, I’m looking for a replacement/dupe for Eucerin Urea Repair face moisturizer which is 5% urea Skin concerns: dry rosacea, mid-40s, arid climate with 4 seasons, winters are cold and snowy and summers are 90°+ for most. This is a medium-weight moisturizer that I consider not greasy at all. It is not as hydrating as I need it to be for my dry skin type with rosacea. Thickness wise I say it is similar to a standard facial sunscreen. It does last overnight, in the morning I can still feel it in some areas. I will try increasing how much I apply in order to see if it helps with how much staying power it has. This may increase the hydration it provides and I will update my review to report back. I had a very mild stinging sensation but my rosacea is struggling since moving to a dry climate. Once I repair my skin barrier a bit, I fully expect this will cease. Due to this, I’m not going to get my husband to try it, he has constantly broken skin from severe eczema and stinging is something that makes him not use moisturizers. It’s a battle! For people in more humid climates this may be a more effective moisturizer, or those with less-dry skin than me. I never have flakes so this wasn’t a parameter for me. There is no tint. I’m not sure about white cast so I can’t rate it for skin tone. But I don’t feel there would be, this seems translucent unless you really go in with it. For me it is reasonably effective. It’s probably a good day moisturizer and I expect it plays well with sunscreen, though I would definitely let it absorb or dry down. Which is pretty standard for daytime skin care. There is a slight grippy feeling when applying, but this dissipates like the Eucerin Urea Repair does. This is not, for me, a replacement or dupe for Eucerin Urea Repair. It is a great value for the price! Overall for someone with skin like mine I rate it a very solid 4/5. I would likely purchase again for a lightweight moisturizer as a more affordable substitute for Beauty Of Joseon Dynasty Cream for day. Though this does not give me the “bounce” that does. Alas. Updated to add: I tried increasing the amount I apply, and that eliminated any grippy feeling when applying. I now apply both day and night and this has helped repair my barrier enough it doesn’t sting when I apply this. I still have a way to go before I can return to using my sunscreen, but I do work in a building with no windows so the few minutes I am outside, it’s okay if I go without. If I apply this to my eyes, it doesn’t sting them, which is great, my eyes are extremely sensitive and I hesitated, but it works out just fine. It isn’t thick enough to cause whiteheads to form on my lids, unlike some balm-type moisturizers (LRP!) and even unfortunately Bioderma Sensibio Eye+ I have noticed the backs of my hands are improved as I wipe off excess onto the backs of my hands and into my cuticles. I was genuinely surprised by this, it’s not like I don’t wash my hands. I wasn’t expecting it to have any effect, but the stinging scaley hands are gone, now my hands just feel normal, even after wearing wool fingerless gloves all day at work. I will continue to use this product and will repurchase even after my financial situation improves.
