Graptopetalum 'Ghost Plant'
Graptopetalum 'Ghost Plant', also known as Mother of Pearl plant, is a unique and versatile succulent that is perfect for any plant collection. Its lovely soft grey leaves with a hint of pink make it a stand-out plant, which can thrive in full sun or partial shade, making it suitable for different environments.
This trailing rosette plant is ideal for a hanging pot and can grow up to 30cm high and trail up to 91cm long. When grown in full sun, the leaves turn yellow-pink, while in partial shade, they appear bluish-grey, creating a striking contrast in any setting.
Graptopetalum 'Ghost Plant' requires typical water needs for a succulent and can handle long periods of dryness. It prefers to be planted in a well-drained mix and does not like wet feet, so it's crucial not to overwater it. It's also generally non-toxic to both humans and animals, making it a safe addition to your home.
This plant is a summer dormant plant, and its propagation is possible by leaves and cuttings, making it easy to propagate and share with others. Its white flowers, which appear in spring, have a star-like shape and are spotted with red, adding to the plant's beauty.
Graptopetalum 'Ghost Plant' can spread up to 60cm wide, and its green to light grey leaves can be up to 7cm long and 3cm wide. The thick and fleshy leaves are arranged in a spiral around the stem and are easily detached from the rosette, which gives it its nickname, the "porcelain succulent."
This hardy plant is suitable for temperate climates in Australia, and it can stand temperatures down to -10°C if sheltered from rain and too much humidity. It's often used as an ornamental plant in gardens due to its spreading and creeping habit, and its ability to grow in full sun and partial shade.
In conclusion, Graptopetalum 'Ghost Plant' is a low maintenance and versatile plant that can thrive in different environments. Its lovely soft grey leaves with a hint of pink, combined with its unique features, make it a stand-out plant.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
