グラプトペタルム・パラグアエンセ、別名ゴーストプラントは、メキシコのタマウリパス原産の群生する品種です。
この見事な丈夫な品種は、若い頃は薄い緑色をしており、成熟するにつれて幽霊のような白色(それが名前の由来です)になります。容易に子株を作り、春には美しい赤い斑点のある白い花を咲かせます。
他の多肉植物と一緒に植えるのに最適で、庭の単独のアクセントとしても使えます。ハンギングポットでの栽培を強くお勧めします。

How to Care For 朧月
How often should I water 朧月? 💦 +
The key to watering 朧月 is to “soak and dry”. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to completely dry before watering again. In active growth, this may be every 1–2 weeks, depending on conditions. In cooler months or dormancy, reduce or stop watering to prevent rot. It is recommended to use pots with drainage holes and never let succulents sit in standing water. Overwatering is the most common cause of succulent problems.
What soil is best for 朧月? 🪴 +
朧月 needs free-draining soil to thrive. Use a specialist cactus and succulent mix, or blend compost with horticultural grit, sand, or perlite. This keeps the roots aerated and prevents excess moisture, which can cause root rot. Adding a gritty top-dressing not only looks attractive but also keeps foliage dry, reduces fungus gnats, and helps regulate moisture. Healthy soil is the foundation of successful succulent care.
Does 朧月 need fertiliser? 🌱 +
Yes, but only in moderation. Feeding helps maintain healthy growth and strong colours. Use a diluted liquid fertiliser for succulents or a balanced cactus feed during the growing season (spring and summer). Apply every few weeks when watering. Avoid fertilising during dormancy in winter, as plants are resting and don’t need extra nutrients. Too much fertiliser can cause weak, leggy growth, so always err on the side of less.
