Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' - 4"
The Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' (often called the Ghost Cactus) is a striking, ghost-like succulent with pale cream-white stems that sometimes flush with pink. Despite its spiky, cactus-like appearance, it is actually a tropical succulent belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family and is native to tropical regions of Asia.Care GuideBecause it severely lacks chlorophyll, the 'White Ghost' is a slow grower that requires slightly more specialized care than typical succulents:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to partial shade. Avoid direct, intense midday sun, as the pale stems burn very easily.
Water: Water thoroughly during the growing season (spring/summer), but allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during the winter.
Soil & Potting: Use a fast-draining, gritty cactus and succulent soil mix. A pot with a drainage hole is mandatory to prevent root rot.
Temperature: It is not frost-tolerant.
