Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' – Rare Variegated Euphorbia with Ghostly Stems

Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' (also traded as 'Grey Ghost') is one of the most iconic cultivars in the genus. Unlike the green form, this selection is almost completely devoid of chlorophyll, giving its triangular stems a creamy white to silvery-grey appearance. Arranged in dense candelabra form, the stems can eventually exceed 3 metres in height under ideal conditions, creating a sculptural silhouette that hardly resembles a living plant. Slow but steady, it adapts well to indoor culture and is more resilient on its own roots than often assumed.

What Makes Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' Unique

  • Coloration: Nearly chlorophyll-free stems with creamy white, grey, and pale green marbling.
  • Growth Habit: Upright triangular branches forming candelabra-like clusters.
  • Size Potential: Can surpass 3 m in height in warm climates; more compact in pots indoors.
  • Collector Appeal: Rare, architectural form that looks more like sculpture than a plant.

Natural Background of Euphorbia lactea

The species Euphorbia lactea is native to tropical Asia, particularly India and Sri Lanka, where it grows in arid scrub and dry forests. The 'White Ghost' cultivar originated in cultivation and does not occur naturally in the wild. Its variegation results from a lack of chlorophyll, making it slower growing and more light-sensitive than the standard green form.

Care Tips for Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost'

  • Light: Requires very bright light; acclimate gradually to avoid sunburn on pale stems.
  • Watering: Follow a “soak and dry” method; allow soil to dry completely before watering again.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining mineral substrate with pumice, lava, or sand.
  • Temperature: Warm-growing; keep above 15 °C and protect from frost.
  • Fertilizer: Apply diluted cactus or succulent feed during active growth.
  • Containers: Heavy pots help stabilize tall plants; ensure excellent drainage.

Points to Keep in Mind

  • Growth Rate: Slower than green E. lactea due to reduced chlorophyll.
  • Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or scale; inspect stems regularly.
  • Toxicity: Like all Euphorbia, the latex sap is toxic and irritant; wear gloves when handling.

Why Collectors Prize Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost'

The cultivar’s stark, ghostly tones and unusual architectural form set it apart from other Euphorbia. Its sculptural silhouette enhances minimalist interiors, desert-style plantings, and collector greenhouses. Despite its delicate look, it is surprisingly hardy when grown on its own roots, requiring little more than bright light and restraint with watering.

Etymology

The genus name Euphorbia is believed to honor Euphorbus, physician to King Juba II of Mauretania in the 1st century BCE, who was noted for using succulent plants medicinally. The cultivar epithet 'White Ghost' refers to its spectral pale coloration.

Comfortable, well put together, nice material, size chart is way off.
Color: Black, Size: 3X-Large
A well put together sweater that is made with very soft yarn, and doesn't seem to have any major structural issues. The zipper works great and the stitching looks like there's not major flaws. The only big issue is the 3XL sweater I got is way off size wise. Oversized sweaters are great, so I was excited about getting this for me to use for day to day wear, and my wife (who is a lot smaller than me) to steal when she's watching tv on the couch or sitting outside, so the disappointment was palatable. Sadly the 3XL size is about the same size as XL sweaters in the closet, where as a few 2xl sweaters we recently ordered from another company are a lot larger than this one. Outside of the major size discrepancy, which could be a major deal breaker for some, the sweater itself is really comfy and really nice. Sadly 3XL is the largest size we could get on the chart.
