Graptopetalum Paraguayense
Graptopetalum paraguayense, commonly known as the Ghost Plant or Mother of Pearl, is a charming succulent native to Mexico. It is beloved for its rosette of fleshy, pastel-toned leaves and its ability to propagate readily, creating stunning clusters.
Appearance:
Leaves: Thick, spoon-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern. The leaves boast a beautiful, powdery, pale-green to lavender hue, resembling a ghost or mother-of-pearl. The tips of the leaves may display a subtle pink blush when exposed to ample sunlight or cool temperatures.
Size: This Graptopetalum remains relatively small, typically growing to about 4-6 inches in diameter. However, it readily produces offsets, or "chicks," forming clusters or mounds over time.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Thrives in bright, indirect light or gentle morning sun.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, allowing it to dry out completely between waterings.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures but can tolerate cool temperatures if kept dry.
Maintenance: Minimal maintenance required.
