Yes, the leaves are a similar shape FROM THE TOP, and they're the same color, but from the side, the ghost plant leaves are deeper and come to a point. I'll take pictures to show what I'm talking about.

Check it out: Baby ghost plant Ghost plant Ghost plant underside Baby mystery plant Baby mystery plant 2 Although the gost plant and the baby mystery plant look similar, the "adult" version of the plant I took the mystery plant from looks way different, with the wide leaves that go out and sort of scoop up, as opposed to the adult ghost plant where you can see that it sort of makes a rose shape.
