Yes, no fertilizer and really back off the water now.
Ghost plants are a summer dormant plant.
You don't want to fight the natural process. Right now she need to start her period of rest. That can be encouraged through no fertilizing and less water. You want to really slow down her growth right now. She needs rest to build up and store energy for her fall growth.
Since she is slowing down growth (this is a good thing). Be extra careful with watering she will drink less which will make her prone to rot. I would really switch your adorable pot to a terracotta pot so it draws water away from the roots. Otherwise the pot will just hold onto water too long and she will rot.
She won't look lush and beautiful through this period and that's okay. She will pick up growth again before you know it ❤️

@SuperbRaspfern Wonderful wisdom again. Thank you so much. I’ll be patient and let the slow and steady begin 🌱
She kinda looks like golden sedum, are you sure she is ghost plant? Either way I have a golden sedum that had one leaf left before I kinda revived her. I had her in a north facing window sill and watered her way too much. Moved her to west window sill, only water her when she is bone dry and made sure she is planted in fast draining soil. I think your soil looks like it may be retaining moisture. These guys don't like to stay wet, they will rot.
@Anabananaaz Oddly the Gregg app first identified her as a ghost plant. I googled and then re-identified and it’s a Golden Sedum! Thank you for catching that!
@BloomRookie Just so you know Golden Sedum also experience summer dormancy. So that above still applies 🩷
