Is Florida Ghost Mint a thing or is it just a Florida Ghost? I have a FG starter and it looks just like your FGM.

I don’t know lol this is what the nursery had it labeled as.  
Based on our overlord Google lol they r the same plant but Ghost produces white/cream leaves first whereas Mints leaves start out pale green

There really isn’t a thing called Florida ghost “mint” it’s just a ghost that doesn’t have full variegation due to lighting and stays that way if you don’t supply it with high lighting. When time comes with high lighting the leaves will be a bright white/cream instead of minty green
