Overrated for ease, underrated for beauty — Ghost Plant

People describe Ghost Plant as easy and I'd push back on that slightly. using a gritty well-draining cactus compost mix needs consistent attention and leaf drop in cold or draughty positions can undermine progress quickly if ignored.

Where Ghost Plant is genuinely underrated is the beauty. water-storing fleshy leaves in geometric rosettes is extraordinary when you see it in person. I display it in a fairy garden or miniature landscape and it gets comments from everyone who sees it. new offsets appearing around the base in spring is the time to really understand what this plant offers. Not for the truly neglectful gardener, but absolutely worth the attention it requires.
