The "string of turtles" you're referring to is most likely Peperomia prostrata, a popular and charming houseplant. Here's some information about it:
What it is:
 * It's a small, trailing succulent vine native to the rainforests of Brazil.
 * Its common name comes from its unique leaves, which are small, round, and patterned with green and brown markings that resemble tiny turtle shells.
 * It's also sometimes called "Turtle Vine" or "Jade Necklace."
Appearance:
 * It has delicate, slender stems that can grow to about 12 inches long.
 * The leaves are the main attraction, typically about 1/2 inch in diameter, and have a slightly succulent feel.
Care:
 * Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light can lead to leggy growth and loss of the distinct leaf patterns. An east-facing window is often ideal.
 * Water: String of turtles is semi-succulent and doesn't need a lot of water. Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out completely before watering. Overwatering is a common issue and can lead to root rot. Use well-draining soil, such as a mix for cacti and succulents.
 * Soil: Requires a well-draining potting mix. A cactus or succulent mix amended with a bit of peat moss or coco coir to retain some moisture is often recommended.
 * Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect it from drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
 * Humidity: While it can tolerate average household humidity, it appreciates slightly higher humidity, especially during dry winter months.
 * Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter.
Propagation:
String of turtles is relatively easy to propagate through stem or leaf cuttings:
 * Stem Cuttings:
   * Cut a 3-4 inch section of a healthy stem, just below a node (where a leaf grows).
   * Remove the leaves from the lower part of the cutting, exposing a few nodes.
   * You can root stem cuttings in either moist potting mix or water.
     * Soil: Plant the cut end in moistened soil, ensuring at least one node is buried. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide bright, indirect light.
     * Water: Place the cut end in a jar of clean water, ensuring no leaves are submerged. Once roots develop (usually in a few weeks), carefully pot the cutting in well-draining soil.
 * Leaf Cuttings:
   * Carefully remove a leaf with a bit of the stem (petiole) attached.
   * Allow the cut end to callous over for a few hours or a day.
   * Plant the leaf-stem in moist succulent mix, partially burying the stem.
   * Keep the soil lightly moist and provide bright, indirect light. It can take a few months for new growth to emerge.
Common Problems:
 * Overwatering: Leads to root rot, indicated by yellowing or mushy leaves.
 * Underwatering: Can cause the leaves to lose their plumpness and the stems to wilt.
 * Insufficient light: Results in leggy growth and faded leaf patterns.
 * Pests: Generally pest-resistant, but can occasionally attract spider mites, mealybugs, or whiteflies.
String of turtles is a delightful plant that adds a unique touch to any indoor garden with its interesting foliage and trailing habit, making it perfect for hanging baskets or displaying on shelves.
