For ghostplant, a genus of parasitic plants, planting methods differ from typical horticultural practices, as they require a host plant to thrive. Ghostplant species generally prefer well-drained soils and are often found in tropical habitats. When planting, choose a suitable host plant, ensure minimal light as ghostplant species are not photosynthetic, and provide moderate water. Carefully connect the ghostplant plant’s root system with the host’s roots to establish the parasitic relationship. It's vital to research the specific host preferences of the ghostplant species you intend to plant.
