Know before you buy
The 'Ghost' variety is known for its ethereal, pale, and silvery-green foliage. This unique coloration provides a striking contrast against standard green houseplants, making it a standout visual piece.
To keep the foliage vibrant and healthy, place this plant in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun exposure, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure it isn't kept in a dim corner where the unique coloration may fade.
No, this plant is toxic to pets. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, or other curious animals.
This variety features an upright growth habit, which makes it a great choice for tabletops or shelves where you want a vertical, architectural look without the plant sprawling too wide.
This plant is classified as an intermediate care level. While it is not overly demanding, it requires consistent monitoring of soil moisture and humidity levels to thrive, so it is best suited for those with some prior plant care experience.
