1. Light: String of turtles prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to place the plant near a window that receives filtered light.

2. Water: String of turtles prefers to be kept on the drier side. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and be sure to use room temperature water. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

3. Soil: String of turtles prefers well-draining soil that's rich in organic matter. A good potting mix should include peat moss, perlite, and sand.

4. Temperature: String of turtles prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (16-24°C). They can tolerate cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost and extreme heat.

5. Humidity: String of turtles can tolerate moderate to low humidity levels. They can benefit from occasional misting or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase humidity.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your string of turtles plant every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

7. Pruning: String of turtles can benefit from occasional pruning to remove any yellow or damaged leaves or to control the plant's size and shape.

8. Propagation: String of turtles can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply take a cutting and plant it in moist soil or water until roots develop.

9. Pests: String of turtles plants can be susceptible to spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Check the plant regularly and take action if you notice any signs of infestation.
