• The Euphorbia Lactea Ghost (or 'White Ghost') is a highly unique and sought-after succulent, prized for its ghostly pale, architectural form that makes it a true living sculpture. It is often referred to as a Ghost Cactus though it is not a true cactus. 
  
  It is a rare, variegated cultivar of Euphorbia lactea, belonging to the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae). Its common name, 'Ghost,' comes from its stunning white or creamy-white coloration. This unusual color is due to a lack of chlorophyll, which also contributes to its slower growth. 
  
  Slow-growing, especially compared to other Euphorbia species, due to its low chlorophyll content. It maintains a compact size indoors, typically growing 1–3 feet tall in containers.
  
  
•  Bright Light to Full Sun. It needs strong light to maintain its vibrant color and compact growth.
  
  Requires an extremely well-draining, gritty potting mix. A specialized cactus or succulent mix amended with extra perlite or pumice is highly recommended to ensure no standing water.
  
  Water Sparingly. It is highly sensitive to overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
