# My Peperomia prostrata, String of Turtles got a haircut this morning.…

My Peperomia prostrata, String of Turtles got a haircut this morning. I cut off all the ‘flowers😀.’ Now looking at her I see lots and lots of growth but the growth is teeny tiny!  
The larger leaves have very faded markings and the new leaves have great markings but are so tiny.  
I feel this is a light issue but I’m not sure. 🤔

Probably is! Where is she located?

#### SueB replied on 2023-10-14

In the corner of a N/E corner window

Not bad but she can definitely tolerate s/w! Are you fertilizing?

### SueB commented on 2023-10-14

Ok I try that 😀

### SueB commented on 2023-10-14

Oops yes I am fertilizing. But I’m going to look into that too. lol

My variegated SOH is right in the window and gets plenty of sun. I’ve noticed the new leaves don’t grow with the variegation and are quite small. After some growing they get the variegation and get bigger leaves.
