Description

Ghost plant is an unusually colored small succulent from Mexico with 3 to 6 inch wide rosettes. The range of color is part of the great charm of this plant. The color ranges from pale blue, light pink, to light purple. The plant multiplies rapidly and is easy to propogate. In spring, it has white flowers that have small red touches. It does well in full sun to light shade and prefers well-drained soil. Irrigate infrequently to occasionally although it does not like wet feet so good drainage is critical if watering regularly.

Water Saving Tip:

Water high water-use plants separately from low water-use plants.

Low water-use plants can grow with one-half the water needed by high water-use plants, and can be easily damaged from over watering.
