The Echeveria lilacina, known as Ghost Echeveria, is a strikingly beautiful succulent cherished for its soft, silvery-gray leaves and elegant rosette form. This slow-growing ghost succulent plant is prized for its resilience, low-maintenance nature, and ability to thrive in arid conditions. Its muted coloration makes it a perfect complement to vibrant succulents or a sophisticated addition to minimalist plant arrangements. Ghost Echeveria is highly sought after by succulent collectors and gardeners due to its unique appearance and adaptability. 

Native to Mexico, this plant gets its "Ghost Echeveria" name due to its pale, almost ghostly silver-blue foliage, which can develop a subtle lilac or pink blush in full sunlight. The powdery coating (farina) on its leaves gives it a frosted look, further enhancing its ethereal beauty. The species name, lilacina, reflects the plant’s slight lilac hue under certain conditions, adding to its aesthetic appeal. 

The Echeveria lilacina has a symmetrical rosette, which can reach up to 6 inches tall and spread up to 10 inches in diameter.

The thick, spoon-shaped leaves are slightly curved and coated with a fine layer of farina, providing protection against excessive sun and moisture loss.

Unlike some other succulents, Ghost Echeveria lacks prominent offsets, making it a solitary-growing species rather than forming clusters.

The Echeveria lilacina flowers bloom usually in late winter to early spring, and produce delicate pinkish-coral flowers on tall, slender stalks that rise above the foliage.

These blooms attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds, adding an ecological benefit to the plant’s aesthetic charm. The contrast between the soft-colored rosettes and the vibrant flowers creates a stunning visual display. 

An interesting aspect of this ghost succulent plant is its ability to change color based on environmental conditions. While it generally retains a pale silvery-gray tone, exposure to direct sunlight and cooler temperatures can bring out soft pink or lavender hues, making it even more visually appealing. This adaptability makes it a favorite among succulent enthusiasts who enjoy experimenting with lighting and placement to achieve different shades. 

When and How to Water Your Echeveria lilacina 

The Echeveria lilacina is a highly drought-tolerant succulent, making it an excellent choice for water-conscious gardeners. Its plump, silvery-lilac leaves store water efficiently, allowing it to survive extended dry spells. Like most succulents, it thrives on infrequent watering rather than a consistent schedule. Overwatering is the primary cause of root rot, so ensuring well-draining soil and proper watering techniques is crucial. 

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, Ghost Echeveria requires moderate watering. Water deeply when the soil is completely dry, approximately once every 10–14 days. If grown indoors, use the soak-and-dry method, allowing excess water to drain from the pot. Ensure there is no standing water in the saucer. Outdoor plants in hotter climates may need watering slightly more frequently, depending on the heat and humidity levels. 

In the fall and winter, during the dormant season, your Echeveria plant requires much less water. Reduce watering to once every 3–4 weeks, ensuring that the soil remains mostly dry. Overwatering during dormancy can lead to root rot or mushy leaves, as the plant’s growth slows down significantly. If the leaves start to wrinkle slightly, it’s a sign that it’s time to water. 

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Echeveria  

When growing indoors, Ghost Echeveria thrives in bright, indirect sunlight.

Place it near a south- or west-facing window where it receives at least 6–8 hours of light daily.

If natural light is insufficient, supplement with a grow light to prevent stretching (etiolation).

Maintaining steady light exposure ensures compact and healthy growth, keeping its signature lilac color vibrant.

When grown outdoors, Ghost Echeveria flourishes in full sun to partial shade. In mild climates, provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and lovely lilac to coral pink blush coloration.

However, in hotter regions, some afternoon shade helps prevent sunburn. If transitioning from indoors to outdoors, gradually introduce the plant to full sunlight to avoid scorching its delicate leaves. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

Ghost Echeveria requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot. A succulent mix with added perlite, sand, or pumice ensures adequate drainage. If using regular potting soil, amending it with 50% perlite or coarse sand helps improve aeration and water flow. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Echeveria succulent to thrive.

The fertilization rate should be kept to a minimum of 5-10-5 (NPK). In the spring, during the active growing season, apply a diluted, low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer once a year. Avoid fertilizing in the dormant season, as excess nutrients can lead to weak or elongated growth. 

Hardiness Zones & More

When growing indoors, this Echeveria succulent thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F. It prefers low to moderate humidity and should be kept away from humid environments like bathrooms. Provide bright light for healthy growth, ensuring at least 6–8 hours of light daily through windows or grow lights. 

In the United States, this Echeveria lilacina mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii then you can cultivate it outdoor in USDA zones 9-11.

In cooler climates, it should be grown in containers and brought indoors before frost.

It is known for its stunning silvery-blue leaves that can take on a pinkish hue when exposed to bright sunlight.

The unique coloration of the leaves makes this succulent a popular choice for indoor and outdoor gardens alike.  

Wildlife – Echeveria lilacina Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The Ghost plants delicate, coral-pink flowers attract a variety of friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other birds when in bloom. These pollinators are drawn to the nectar-rich flowers, making it an excellent addition to a pollinator-friendly garden.

According to the ASPCA, Echeveria lilacina is non-toxic to humans, cats, dogs, and other pets, making it a safe option for households with animals. It is safe to touch and handle, which makes it a popular friendly choice for indoor and outdoor gardens alike.  

How to propagate Ghost Echeveria

To propagate Ghost Echeveria, start by gently removing a healthy leaf from the plant, making sure to include the entire leaf and a small portion of the stem. Allow the leaf to callous over for a few days before placing it on top of well-draining soil in a bright, indirect light location. Mist the soil lightly every few days to keep it slightly moist, and within a few weeks, roots should begin to form followed by new growth at the base of the leaf. Transplant the new plant into its own pot once it has established roots and continue to care for it as you would an adult Ghost Echeveria.

Great substitute for Adderall.
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
This is a great supplement to have around, especially because it's SO easy and economical compared to coffee. I would happily rate it 5 stars BUT I have to admit that the first few times I took it, the jitters it gave me were pretty extreme. It didn't bother me AT ALL, but I know that it would be WAY too strong for a lot of people. However, if you're not a stranger to over-loading yourself on caffeine (or other stimulants) and you generally like its effects, this should be a great supplement for you. Very importantly, the jitters went away by the 4th day I took it and now it's hardly noticeable. I started using it so I could easily lower my daily dose of Adderall (prescribed for ADD) and it did the job well.

I work night shift and these keep me energize without jitters. Also, I do not crash. They last a good 6 hours and I'm able to sleep when I get home.

Used to work, useless now. It seems they reformulated things. I used to wake up on this guarana, and the most recent batch not only does nothing, I can take two and need a nap within an hour.

This can be the best for some people and potential trouble for others. BP warning:
Item Package Quantity: 1, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 1)
It triggers my bipolar mania. Even though this detrimental effect is short-lived - only a few hours before coming back to normal... I don't feel right taking this ever again in supplement form. It's ok in a Monster Energy Drink or a Starbucks Tripleshot coffee or something for me personally. Really it's in my opinion the best herbal supplement for energy that is somewhat adventurous and flexitive. For me more like go outside and play, climb pine trees or something. In contrast, I'll suggest this term: "GNC-type herbal stimulants" - they feel more oriented toward focus and less towards locomotive behavior.

This wonderful biography focuses on what the contemporary records actually tell us.
Format: Paperback
I am very grateful to Richard Bushman for this book. Writing about Joseph Smith invites a storm of criticism because skeptics only want him debunked and believers want their faith supported. Each wants their pre-conceived image of who Joseph was to be proven correct. Bushman takes a strong stance that lets the evidence we have speak for itself, preferably as close to Joseph himself and contemporary witnesses as possible, and tell the story of his life to high scholarly standards. For me the book read somewhat sparer than a biography that includes anecdotes as if they are history. Many familiar stories that I learned growing up are simply not here. However, relying as much as possible on contemporary accounts and what Joseph himself wrote or said provides a a biography more consistent in its view of Joseph than the books that either extol him or those that tend to attack him and try to debunk him. For example, the famous Brodie biography seemed to me to want Joseph to be both a genius and a dolt, a highly energetic man yet lazy, a crazed believer and a cynical con man, and on and on with similar contradictions. Bushman achieves a more consistent lens on Joseph, despite the complications of the man and his life. I think this is both a great achievement and a real help in trying to understand Joseph. I mean it as high praise for the book when I say that I think that almost everyone who reads this book thoughtfully will take away a broader and deeper conception of who Joseph Smith was and what he did. Rather than try to recount the book to you I want to share several things that I learned from the book and really value. I could list dozens more, but you can read the book for yourself (which I encourage you to do). Yes, I am a believing member of the LDS Church, but I think the book is intelligent and honest and complete enough to provide interesting and thought provoking material for both the believer and the skeptic and for someone who comes with no knowledge of Joseph at all. Believers will have to consider the complications of the man and his flesh and blood temperament and the misjudgments he made in his life about the people he trusted and some of the actions he took. Skeptics will have to deal with the reality of the man and his achievements. Simply dismissing him as a con man or a crazed visionary will not work because that is not what the actual evidence says. Joseph did not run the Church as the single central figure nor did he turn it into a cult of Joseph Smith. Bushman showed me the power and genius of the organization of the Church and its balancing mechanisms of being flat with a broadly held male priesthood with a hierarchical leadership with doctrine of keys and how the later addition of women in the operation, governing of the Church, and caring of the needs of the Saints strengthened and enriched it. And while Joseph was the President of the Church and its Prophet and Seer he really did let local leadership govern itself according to the principles taught through the revelations. I think Bushman's focus on the development of the organization and its role in preserving the Church and its ongoing growth after Joseph's murder is spot on and helped deepen my appreciation of its dynamism and adaptability. I also like the compromise language Bushman achieved in dealing with the realities of the revelations of Joseph Smith. The author always refers to them as Joseph's revelations. For believers, we accept them as revelations from God through Joseph Smith, but I can see them as "Joseph's" in that they were given through him. And skeptics who reject anything divine about the revelations can accept that, whatever they are, Joseph spoke them. I also liked learning how many of the revelations were given in the presence of others in meetings, how matter of fact they were, how they were immediately copied and circulated, and how difficult it was to get them collected and printed for a variety of reasons until we finally got them published as the Doctrine and Covenants. Another thing I gained a deeper appreciation of was the utter daring and the monumental nature of building the Kirtland Temple so early in the Church's life. Most Mormon congregations (wards) have around 500 members. Kirtland at the time they were building the temple was growing, but only had around 600 members when the project began. I can't fathom taking on such a project with so few people and for a people living in log structures and less it is even more incredible. Yet they built it in that rugged frontier town. I also thought that Bushman handled the sense of the miraculous around the dedication of the temple very sensitively. I also did not realize that when Joseph and Oliver were receiving the visitation of the Savior, Moses, Elijah, and Elias on the altar of the temple that up to 1,000 members were in the temple on the other side of the curtain. When I was growing up I did not understand clearly how early the Saints arrived in Missouri and how much larger the settlement there was than in Kirtland even though the temple in Kirtland was built and the proposed temple for Zion was not. Bushman also does a good job of giving a clear picture of the dynamics of the persecutions in Missouri and how the growing political power and anti-slavery stance of the Mormons antagonized the locals. The so-called Mormon War is also more critical to the rest of Joseph's life than I had realized. The constant hounding from Missouri and Joseph having to fear for his life from then on was something I had not truly appreciated. I also think Bushman handles the issue of plural marriage as well as it can be handled. And I think I gained a deeper understanding of John C. Bennett's role in the persecution of the Mormons in Illinois than I had before. I think the actual martyrdom is given a little too light a treatment here, but it is well covered material, and as Bushman notes, a great deal of faith promoting stories have accumulated around that event over the years. And I think he was probably wise in not opening up his book to attacks because he debunked someone's favorite story about Joseph's last days. Just laying out what is actually documented from the time is very helpful. Even with all the praise I have given, I could heap a great deal more if I had the space and time. But I do want to share an honest perspective I have of the book. It is superior, truly marvelous, from Joseph's early life through the dedication of the Kirtland Temple. That is the zenith of the book. From that point on, while good, the author himself cites difficulty in getting to Joseph directly after that point because his life and the nature of the work of the Church and the lives of the Saints changed. The rest of the book is not as exquisite. Very good, interesting, and informative, but not quite equal to the previous material. It becomes more of a narrative than it had been probably for the reason Bushman cites. I did find the footnotes and bibliography quite useful. They enriched my reading and sent me on to other reading I found illuminating and will help me in selecting other directions for study for years to come. So, I am especially thankful for the hard work in putting all that material together, as well. This is a monumental work and a treasure. Read it. Evaluate it for yourself no matter your present attitude or judgments of Joseph Smith. You will have a more considered and informed view for having read it. And, I don't know why this is in the paperback section. I bought and read the hardcover of the book. Reviewed by Craig Matteson, Saline, MI
