'Phone Photography' - My ghost flower

One of the plants in my garden that I like to photograph the most is this succulent. Its name is the ghost flower, in popular slang, but scientifically recognized as the Graptopetalum paraguayense. ![IMG_20250813_183209.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/EpA4UDai7HLkHuFF6trdSWCbkxYzCpcYvUqUKhR9QbRJHQHnVgtB8ZRawU2eQjbCRxx.jpg) It is a plant that any hobbyist can grow in their home, following the minimum conditions essential for the life and support of a succulent. ![IMG_20251003_102243.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/Ep3dqZ6vnATCGwAZ8RwYJJH8nTpHdpaprTGUFxSEX3tDqXXGbbdSrCQtfuBAmmB1Qng.jpg) I highly recommend it; it is easy to care for, to reproduce, it is very rarely infected by pests, and it does not suffer from as many diseases as other succulents. ![IMG_20251003_102158.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/Ep5oAmsgzs2LjtCpWcNuCm2xfoDZdFDP7xHo9oan7NN4WLrFXDR4TmXUaMNXe7j1Fxj.jpg) This is one of the plants that has resisted the most in my garden due to my neglect, and in addition to the proliferation and death by pests. ![IMG_20251003_102304.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/EpEKi586TJNzfHiTsGjfYLACQ5HwcFPFwEJjHjgpA97vtw66MunEhTtiGZYVQ7yGDrL.jpg) I have reproduced it many times, through branches and their leaves as well. When its leaves accidentally come off, I immediately place the leaf lying down in a pot, with succulent substrate, and then I have to wait a few weeks to see how the small flower begins to emerge from the side where I detached it from the mother plant. ![IMG_20230307_110628.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23xp8U7Q4j6JGhd2haoEeWVpQHzGz3qBbo9mN8wiZgesyohEbhDjuNhtZEiFDGnism529.jpg) I think they called the ghost flower because of its color; it is like milk but tends to be a little darker. It tolerates direct sun, and in the shade, it also grows, but its leaves tend to separate, and it loses the pink appearance that it maintains. ![IMG_20230307_110549.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23tmNAnPZRMoiWyuDwTHLX7VEV9FBssKvohiVezT8rKDCBMHTGufvBtVe5yMBFpZBQMLc.jpg) ![separador1.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/gertu/23tRzsAvAC4DmbQLVD6ZkH5k67gPJupDg1mvrCJf5Zb3g3ffym7iowCx4s6GdyTV5wb8f.png) My participation in the "Phone Photography Contest - #80" All photographs are taken with the Redmi note9.
