Yes, there can be an upside to the premium pricing of Variegated String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata variegata). The higher price often reflects:
Rarity & novelty – True variegated plants are naturally uncommon, making them more collectible.
Growth & propagation – Variegated forms often grow slower and harder to propagate, so supply is limited.
Aesthetic value – Unique leaf patterns and creamy-white variegation increase visual appeal for enthusiasts.
So yes, the premium price can be justified by the plant’s scarcity, propagation difficulty, and decorative value. But if you're just after a leafy green, a non-variegated String of Turtles offers virtually the same care ease for a lower cost.
