Graptopetalum paraguayense
Graptopetalum paraguayense, commonly known as Ghost Plant, is a captivating succulent renowned for its delicate, pastel-hued rosettes. The fleshy, pointed leaves range in colour from pale blue-grey to pinkish-purple, often with a powdery, silver sheen that gives the plant its ghostly appearance. The rosettes are typically around 6 to 10 cm in diameter and can spread to form a dense, attractive mat.
This succulent thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, container arrangements, or as a ground cover in well drained warmer frost free areas. Graptopetalum paraguayense is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, making it a low-maintenance option for both indoor and outdoor gardens.
With its subtle beauty and ease of care, Graptopetalum paraguayense is a popular choice among succulent enthusiasts. Its ability to change colour depending on light conditions adds an ever-changing, dynamic element to any plant collection.
