Graptopetalum paraguayense

Graptopetalum paraguayense, also known as graptopetalum, Sedum weinbergii, mother-of-pearl plant or ghost plant, is a succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family and native to north-eastern Mexico and the southern United States.

It is an almost creeping (prostrate) plant; in other words, its stem rests on the substrate but, when planted in a pot, it gradually takes on a very striking trailing habit.

This succulent is notable for its rosette-shaped leaves. It should not be confused with Echeveria elegans, to which it bears a strong resemblance. Its leaves are a colour somewhere between green and grey (with a pinkish tinge), a defence mechanism they have developed to prevent sunburn.
