Wildlife value of Ghost Plant — an unexpected bonus

I planted Ghost Plant primarily for ornamental reasons. What I didn't anticipate was the wildlife it would attract. extremely low maintenance between waterings seems to be particularly appealing to bees and butterflies during the main growing period.

I grow it in a sunny windowsill in a terracotta pot which allows me to watch the activity up close. new offsets appearing around the base in spring is the most active period for wildlife visits. watering only when the soil is completely dry is important for keeping the plant healthy enough to flower well and provide that value. etiolation from insufficient light is the thing to watch — it reduces flowering and therefore wildlife visits if left unchecked. A plant that earns its place twice over.
