This is the succulent plant whose popular name is ghost flower, it has to be named this way for its whitish color. The scientific name is Graptopetalun Paraguayense. It is not a succulent of difficult maintenance but it does need certain care like all plants. I encourage you to its cultivation and reproduction since it is not difficult.

Care with the water...

The first thing is to have a plant to which you will not give as much water consumption as the rest of your plants. Only when you put your finger in the substrate and see that it is dry, then you should add water. Do not be afraid you can put enough water and only be aware that the next time you put it in the same way as the previous time, always keep an eye on the dry substrate.

It is not a plant to have in direct sunlight but it does need sunlight radiation to reach it. Without a good dose of the sun, its leaves change color and with a lot of sun, the leaves burn.

Reproduction...

To reproduce your plant remove a leaf from the lower portion of the stem of your plant and place it lying down, not buried, in the substrate where you will leave it for replication. Leave it there for a few weeks. You will see a tiny plant begin to emerge at the level of the scar left by the leaf detachment. It will have small roots coming out of the little plant. Wait until it has a good size and remove it from the portion of soil where the roots were buried and plant it in your favorite pot.

For its maintenance, you must follow the same indications that you do with the mother plant. I hope this information will help you.
