The Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' is a striking, slow-growing succulent known for its unique, almost entirely white, cactus-like appearance due to a lack of chlorophyll. It is a popular houseplant that is relatively easy to care for but requires handling with caution due to its mildly toxic, milky sap.

The 'White Ghost' is an upright, branching succulent with thick, fleshy, triangular stems that grow in a candelabra form. The stems are variegated with shades of white, cream, and sometimes tinges of pink or green. It has spiky thorns along the edges of its stems and produces small, yellow-white or greenish-yellow flowers in the spring, which are generally inconspicuous. In its natural habitat (tropical Asia and Africa), it can grow up to 6 feet tall, but typically remains smaller (around 1-3 feet) when grown as a houseplant.

CARE GUIDE:

• Light: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Because it lacks most chlorophyll, it is more sensitive to harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can cause sunburn.
• Water: It is drought-tolerant and very sensitive to overwatering, which can cause root rot. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, typically every 2-3 weeks in the growing season (spring/summer) and once a month or less in winter.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. You can enhance drainage by adding perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to regular potting soil.
• Temperature & Humidity: 'White Ghost' prefers warm environments, ideally between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C). It adapts well to average household humidity and prefers dry conditions.
• Fertilizer: Feed sparingly with a diluted, balanced succulent fertilizer during the active growing season (spring and summer).
• Safety: The plant's milky white sap (latex) is a strong irritant to skin and eyes and is mildly toxic if ingested. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling, pruning, or repotting the plant.
