Introducing the ghost plant, known as Graptopetalum paraguayense, which is a low-maintenance pet-friendly plant that belongs to the Graptopetalum genus. Native to Mexico, it is known for its rosette-shaped leaves and beautiful flowers.  

The ghost plant gets its name due to the pale, ghostly appearance of its leaves. It is also known by other common names such as mother of pearl plant and sedum weinbergii. 

The ghost plant has thick, fleshy, pointed, flat, or opalescent leaves that are typically arranged in a rosette formation. The leaves are pale blue-green or grayish white in color, giving the plant its ghostly appearance.  


The fleshy leaves of the ghost plant are often covered in a powdery, waxy substance called "farina" that helps protect the plant from excessive sunlight.

The rosettes of plants can grow up to 8 inches tall and 12 inches wide, and in clumps ghost plants will grow up to 1 foot tall and 3 feet wide.

This makes it a great choice for potted houseplant or as part of a succulent arrangement in your rock garden.

The ghost plant blushes pink, purple, and yellow in full sun, displaying more blues, greens, and silvers in partial shade, and its powdery farina coating thickens under direct sun.  

The Graptopetalum paraguayense flower blooms during the spring and early summer with clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers. These flowers attract butterflies and bees, making them a beautiful addition to any garden. 

Propagation of the ghost plant succulent is relatively easy. It can be propagated through leaf cuttings or offsets. To propagate through leaf cuttings, simply remove a healthy leaf from the plant, let it callus over for a few days, and then place it in well-draining soil. Over time, roots will develop, and a new plant will grow. Offsets, which are small plantlets that grow around the base of the mother plant, can also be separated and planted to create new plants. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering this ghost plant, it's important to strike a balance. Ghost plants are native to arid regions, so they prefer drier conditions. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it's best to err on the side of underwatering. 

To water your ghost plant, you'll want to follow a "soak and dry" method. This means thoroughly watering the soil and allowing it to dry out completely before watering again. When you do water, make sure to water the soil directly and avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can cause them to rot. 

The frequency of watering will depend on various factors such as the climate, temperature, and humidity levels. As a general rule, you can water your Graptopetalum paraguayense every 2-3 weeks during the growing season in the spring and summer, but only once a month during the dormant season in the fall and winter. 

Remember, it's always better to underwater than overwater your ghost plant succulent. Keep an eye on the soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule accordingly. And don't forget to provide good drainage for the plant by using a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes. 

Light Requirements 

When growing indoors ghost plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Find a spot near a sunny window where it can receive plenty of bright, filtered sunlight throughout the day. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn or become discolored. 

If you're growing the ghost plant outdoors, it can tolerate more direct sunlight compared to indoor conditions. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, so find a spot in your garden or patio where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. However, keep in mind that if you're transitioning the plant from indoor to outdoor conditions, it's best to acclimate it gradually to prevent sunburn or stress to the ghost succulent. 

Remember, the ghost plant Graptopetalum paraguayense is among the easiest succulents and can adapt to different light conditions. 

 If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming leggy, it may be an indication that the plant is not receiving enough light. On the other hand, if the leaves start to turn brown or develop sunburn spots, it may be getting too much direct sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Like other succulents, the Ghost plants thrive in well-draining soil that allows excess water to flow out easily.  Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your ghost plant succulent to thrive. 

Graptopetalum paraguayense Ghost plants are not heavy feeders and can do well without frequent fertilization. In fact, too much fertilizer can actually harm the succulent plant. It's best to use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically designed for succulents. During the growing season, in the spring, you can fertilize your ghost plant once a year. Be sure to dilute the fertilizer to half or quarter strength, as succulents have lower nutrient requirements compared to other plants. 

Remember, it's important not to overdo it with fertilizer, as this can lead to nutrient burn and other issues. Always follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging and err on the side of caution. With the right soil and proper fertilization, your ghost plant will be happy and healthy. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When grown indoors, ghost plants prefer a warm temperature between 50°F to 65°F. It's important to avoid exposing them to extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can stress the plant. 

For outdoor cultivation, the ghost plant is generally hardy in USDA zones 7 to 11. These zones have milder winters and can provide the right conditions for your mother of pearl succulent to survive and thrive. 

In terms of humidity ghost plants are quite adaptable and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. They can handle both dry and moderately humid environments. However, it's important to avoid excessive moisture, as this can lead to rot or fungal issues. Good air circulation is also beneficial for the mother-of-pearl plant's overall health. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the ghost plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) is a captivating succulent with its pale, ghostly leaves and delicate flowers. This low-maintenance houseplant features rosette-shaped leaves covered in a powdery substance called farina, giving it a unique appearance. With its compact size and easy propagation through leaf cuttings or offsets, the ghost plant is a great choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Just provide it with plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, and occasional watering, and it will thrive as a beautiful addition to your succulent collection. As a result, succulents like ghost plants are frequently planted in containers, both indoors and outdoors, or in rock gardens.

Short sleeve button down shirt
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy Blue
These might run a size smaller. It still fit me but it is closer to XL than XXL in my case. It is great and comfortable as a casual shirt to wear out. It is easy to wash and dry, it did not shrink with cold water and just a tumble dry.

Comfortable, roomy fit and quality fabric
Size: Medium, Color: Flamingo, Size: Medium, Color: Flamingo
This is a comfortable, well-made guayabera (Cuban wedding-style shirt) available in a range of colors. It fits true to size on me, offering a little extra room to help you contend with the summer heat. The color and size hold up well in the wash; I've worn this shirt several times and it still looks great and hasn't suffered from any kind of shrinkage at all. I particularly like the linen blended with cotton here; linen is nice and light but can be too light sometimes and it wrinkles when you look at it, but the cotton balances it out nicely. The current discounted price of $20 a pop here is an absolute steal as well; I'm tempted to get another couple just to have some more options in my closet. Overall, I'm happy with this product.

Excellent dress shirt for the summertime!
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue, Size: X-Large, Color: Navy Blue
This has rapidly become one of my top shirts to wear during the summertime, and it isn’t even summertime yet! Got this shirt in the other day and this shirt just checks all the boxes for me. It is comfortable in fact that it’s very comfortable. The material is not dry fit but it is not a material that will make you sweat the way cotton would make you sweat.. the fit is spot on, and it just happens to be one of those shirts (we all have shirts like this) where it is one of the go two shirts that you grab when you wanna look nice, yet you wanna be comfortable. Another thing I like about this shirt is the collar it doesn’t stick out too far and it just seems to fit in place the right way. Some collar on some shirts rest too far outside of your neck and some hug along your neck line, this shirt does neither of the two, it just fits perfectly. The material is very breathable allowing this shirt to be worn in any nice weather climate whether that is warm, hot, or that very sticky humid hot.. Another great thing to point out is I have washed it twice already and it keeps its nice clean look to it and I have not really had to go crazy with the ironing. For the price I think it is aAnother great thing to point out is I have washed it twice already and it keeps it’s nice clean look to it and I have not really had to go crazy with the ironing. For the price I think it is a steal of a deal, yeah I wish I had a closet full of these shirts with other colors.
