Succulent Euphorbia Lactea Ghost

White Ghost Euphorbia – Euphorbia Lactea 'White Ghost'

Botanical Name: Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost'  |  Common Names: White Ghost Candelabra Spurge, White Ghost Candlestick Plant

About This Plant

The White Ghost Euphorbia is one of the most hauntingly beautiful rare succulents you can own. Its ghostly, milky-white spiny stems rise vertically and branch over time into an elegant candelabra form — a dramatic, architectural statement plant that looks equally at home in a modern interior or a curated succulent collection. The pale coloration comes from a near-total lack of chlorophyll, giving it an ethereal, otherworldly appearance unlike anything else in the plant world.

Why You'll Love It

• Rare and striking — the milky-white stems and candelabra silhouette make it an instant collector’s piece
• Architectural beauty — bold, sculptural form that adds dramatic visual interest to any space
• Low maintenance — drought-tolerant and easy to care for once established
• Grows with character — branches into a fuller candelabra shape over time, becoming more impressive with age

Care at a Glance

• Light: Full sun to bright indirect light; thrives near a sunny window
• Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; very drought-tolerant
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix
• Handling: Wear gloves — the milky sap (latex) can irritate skin and eyes

⚠️ Toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
