Ghost Cactus

The Euphorbia lactea ‘White Ghost’—sometimes called White Ghost Cactus or Ghost Euphorbia—is a rare, highly coveted succulent known for its almost otherworldly color. Unlike most Euphorbia varieties, this cultivar displays pale white, silvery-green stems with subtle marbling and hints of pink along the ridges. Its eerie, bone-like appearance makes it a perfect centerpiece for the spooky season, while its rare look shines year-round.

This variety naturally produces very small, pale yellow leaves, which are often short-lived and deciduous. It’s completely normal for these leaves to drop—don’t worry though! This is part of the plant’s natural cycle, and new leaves will appear. Euphorbia’s arms can also get a little heavy as they mature, so it might need a helping hand to stay upright. A simple plant stake does the trick!

Note: Our cacti aren’t cuttings—they’re fully rooted plants! This means they’re already established and ready to thrive in their new home. Succulents naturally have shallow roots, so don’t be surprised if that’s what you see, it’s a completely natural trait!
