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.

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
