Common Names and Scientific Classification
Scientific Name: Graptopetalum paraguayense

Common Names: Ghost Plant, Mother-of-Pearl Plant, Graptopetalum

The Ghost Plant, known botanically as Graptopetalum paraguayense, is a hardy succulent admired for its stunning pastel foliage and rosette structure. Native to Mexico, this species belongs to the Crassulaceae family. Its leaves appear coated in a powdery silver-blue wax that reflects sunlight, giving it a ghostly, iridescent appearance. As the plant matures, it develops a trailing growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a cascading accent over walls and pots. The Ghost Plant can survive mild neglect, making it an excellent choice for both novice gardeners and collectors of rare succulents.

Why Choose Graptopetalum paraguayense?
Graptopetalum paraguayense is favored for its low-maintenance nature and year-round beauty. It’s drought-tolerant, making it perfect for dry climates and water-saving gardens. Its ability to propagate easily from leaves makes it highly rewarding for gardening enthusiasts. This plant also adapts well to different environments—indoors, in greenhouses, or outdoors in tropical and subtropical climates. Its subtle hues of pink, purple, and grey change slightly with temperature and light, making every plant unique. These features, along with its slow but steady growth, make it a timeless feature in succulent displays and urban landscaping.
