Ghost plants grow best in full sun or bright dappled shade. Plants that don't receive enough light will be leggy and may experience leaf drop. When growing as a houseplant, keep the ghost plant in a south or east-facing window.
Like the majority of succulents, the ghost plant needs good drainage to maintain a healthy root system. If your garden has to clay soil, use raised beds at least six inches tall and a planting mix with half grit, gravel, or sand, and half organic material like peat, coco coir, or commercial potting soil.
Ghost plants thrive in hot weather, but excess humidity is a problem in areas with poorly draining soil. Planting your ghost plants in containers or raised beds, as well as spacing them away from each other and away from other plants to increase air circulation will keep plants healthy.
Ghost plants only need occasional irrigation. Plants growing outdoors in full sun and summer temperatures will appreciate a weekly watering, while houseplants may only need watering every other week. Water indoor ghost plants at soil level to prevent water from stagnating in the rosettes.
These succulents can grow in low-nutrient soil, and excess fertilizing will burn the leaves. Using a soil-enriching approach like manure tea or a side-dressing of compost is enough to keep your ghost plants vigorous.
Ghost plants have a shallow root system and don't need frequent repotting. When your specimen has outgrown its container, be sure to handle the plant carefully and minimally to avoid damaging the powdery pruinose coating on the leaves, which is delicate.
God job! You are taking good care of your ghost plant.
As your ghost plant grows, remove dead leaves at the base of the plant. Decomposing leaves provide a habitat for pests like the mealybug. If your ghost plant has mealybugs, you can spot treat with a dab of isopropyl alcohol, or smother them with horticultural oil.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
