Graptopetalum paraguayense
Ghost Plant
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.
