Introducing the stunning White Ghost Cactus, also known as Euphorbia lactea variegata, a vibrant cultivar of Euphorbia lactea. While Euphorbia lactea White Ghost is commonly referred to as the "White Ghost Cactus," it's actually not a true cactus. It's a succulent shrub or a small tree from the Euphorbiaceae family.

The name "White Ghost" is given to it because of its pale white color and ghostly appearance. So, even though it's not a cactus, it's still called a "cactus" because of its cactus-like shape and the way it's often grouped with other succulent cacti.

With the thick, fleshy, triangular stems of the white ghost cacti, Euphorbia grows upright and branches out as it matures. The stems are variegated with shades of white, green, and sometimes even pink or yellow.

Instead of leaves, it has small, spiky thorns or spines along the edges of its stems. These thorns are not only decorative but also serve as a defense mechanism against predators. 

Native to the tropical regions of Africa and Asia, with a slow growth rate, the Euphorbia lactea White Ghost cactus can grow up to 6 feet tall in its natural habitat. However, when grown as a houseplant, it tends to stay smaller, usually reaching heights of about 1 to 3 feet. Its size can also be controlled through pruning and proper care. 

The flowers Go to https://planetdesert.com/collections/soil-top-dressing-and-amendments/products/soil-cactus-mix-blend-1-gal-4-qt-cacti-succulent-dirt-compost-growing-media of the white ghost cacti bloom in the spring season with yellow-white or greenish-yellow hues. These flowers may not be as showy as those of other plants, but they have their own charm. The blooms are surrounded by colorful bracts, which are modified leaves that often have a variegated pattern of white, green, and sometimes pink. Together, the flowers and braces create an interesting and eye-catching display. 

When and How to Water Your White Ghost Cactus 

To keep your White Ghost cacti happy and healthy, it's best to water them sparingly. In between waterings, let the soil dry out completely.This means waiting until the soil is dry to the touch before giving it a good drink. The White Ghost Cactus should only be watered when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2–3 weeks in active growth, and once a month or less during dormancy.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, Euphorbia lactea variegata needs watering once every 2-3 weeks. The soak-and-dry method is the best technique to develop this plant. However, it's important to adjust the watering frequency based on the environmental conditions and the moisture level of the soil. In hot and dry climates, you may need to water it more often, while in cooler and more humid conditions, less frequent watering may be required. 

During the winter months, when the cactus is in its dormant period, you should reduce the watering to once a month. It's best to water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry. This helps prevent the risk of overwatering and allows the cactus to rest during its dormant phase.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Euphorbia Lactea

When growing the White Ghost Cactus indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours a day. Place this potted plant near a window that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. However, be cautious of placing it in direct sunlight, especially during the intense afternoon sun, as it can scorch the delicate succulent.

If you notice your white ghost succulent stretching or becoming pale, it may be an indication that it needs more light. In that case, you can consider supplementing its light with a grow light to ensure it gets the necessary brightness.

If you are growing the White Ghost plant outdoors, this Euphorbia lactea variegata needs full to partial sun, for at least 4-6 hours a day. Just make sure to acclimate your Euphorbia white ghost gradually to the outdoor conditions if it has been indoors for an extended period. Start by placing your Euphorbia ghost cacti in a partially shaded area and gradually expose it to more sunlight over a few weeks. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to the soil, the White Ghost plants need well-drained soil and should be fertilized once a year in spring. You can create a suitable soil mix by combining equal parts of succulent potting mix, perlite, and coarse sand. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your white ghost Euphorbia succulents thrive.

During the growing season, which is typically in spring, you can fertilize your ghost cactus once a year. Choose a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically formulated for succulents. Follow the instructions for dilution and apply the fertilizer to damp soil to avoid any potential root burn. During the dormant period in winter, it's best to avoid fertilizing altogether. 

Hardiness Zone & More

If you're growing the White Ghost plant outdoors, it is typically suited for USDA zones 9 to 11.

These zones generally have milder climates with frost-free winters and warm summers.

If you live in a region with colder temperatures, it's best to keep the succulent indoors or provide protection during winter months to prevent any damage from freezing temperatures. 

It's important to avoid excessive humidity, as it can increase the risk of fungal diseases. Aim for a moderate humidity level, around 40% to 60%, to create a comfortable environment for your ghost cacti.

How to Grow Best Indoors the White Ghost Cactus 

If you are growing your white ghost cactus indoors, it thrives in temperatures ranging from 60°F to 80°F. It's important to keep your Euphorbia lactea variegata away from drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations, as it prefers a stable and consistent climate. So, find a cozy spot in your home where the temperature remains within this range, and your white ghost will be happy. 

Wildlife - Euphorbia lactea Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The variegated Euphorbia lactea produces small, inconspicuous flowers that are primarily pollinated by bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. These friendly pollinators are attracted to the nectar and pollen of the flowers, helping to ensure successful fertilization and seed production for this unique species.

According to ASPCA, the variegated Euphorbia lactea is mildly toxic to humans and cats if ingested in large amounts. The milky sap of the plant can irritate the mouth and stomach and result in symptoms like diarrhea, vomiting, and lethargy.

Propagating White Ghost Cactus 

To propagate the White Ghost Cactus, take healthy stem cuttings, let them callus for a few days, and plant them in a well-draining cactus mix. Place the pot in a warm, bright spot with indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist. Roots typically develop in a few weeks, especially when propagated in spring. You can also grow it from seeds, though this method takes longer and requires consistent moisture, warmth, and patience.

Key Takeaways

  1. The White Ghost Cactus is a rare and highly sought-after cultivar, prized for its striking white, silver, and pale green marbled stems that lack chlorophyll.
  2. This cactus-like euphorbia thrives in bright indirect light or filtered sun, making it an eye-catching choice for both indoor and outdoor displays.
  3. Unlike typical green succulents, the White Ghost’s ghostly coloration results from a mutation, which also makes it more sensitive to harsh sunlight.
  4. The plant is drought-tolerant once established, requiring very little water and thriving in dry, well-drained soil.

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the White Ghost Euphorbia lactea is a stunning and unique addition to any succulent collection. With its pale white appearance and intricate patterns, it adds an ethereal touch to your indoor or outdoor space. This ghost cactus requires minimal care, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts. The Euphorbia lactea White Ghost is sure to captivate you with its otherworldly beauty and bring a touch of desert magic to your home or garden.

Total GAME CHANGER - incredibly effective toothbrush for dogs
Color: Clear (2-pack)
This silicon finger brush is incredibly easy to use - and so EFFECTIVE (more on that in the last paragraph this review). At first, it seemed a little hard to get on my finger but I simply got my finger wet first under the faucet and it slipped right on with virtually no effort. And once on, it's easy to take off but doesn't slip off accidentally when in use - so - perfect! Quick & simply to clean - rinses off in the sink in seconds, and ready to use the next time. And, my dog not only lets me clean her teeth - she actually like it (this from a dog who used to hate it when I would try to brush her teeth with a regular doggy toothbrush). This silicon "brush" is incredibly maneuverable - way more so than standard dog toothbrushes or regular finger brushes. So much so it makes it super easy to not only get those normally impossible to reach back molars - AND - even the back sides of the teeth! With a normal dog tooth brush (or finger brush) my dog's clamping down made that impossible. Now, it's not only possible - it's easy! Our dog's canine teeth had build-up but it was not until I pulled her gums back and looked at her back molars that I saw how bad things had gotten - and we have a young dog! Her back molars not only had build-up but some appeared to be stained a tea colored brown that did not come off with my fingernail. It was pretty disheartening and I felt terrible. How could this happen so quickly? The vet said it was plaque (and not yet tartar) and that it wasn't bad enough to warrant a professional cleaning - yet - but that I needed to do a better job brushing. He said: "I can see exactly where your brushing stops" (referring to the condition on the back molars which I had not been able to do with a regular brush as my dog just wasn't having it). Tips: here's what's working for us. Instead of squeezing out a pea sized blog of tooth paste onto this brush, I put a tiny dab - that it's - on the very tip of the brush and focus my efforts on two of our dog's worst teeth on one side - on top and then on the bottom. Then I put another small dab and repeat on the other side of her mouth with 4 teeth on that side. Then, I use another small dab and focus work on another group of teeth. All totaled, I'm using maybe 4 to 6 very small dabs of dog toothpaste, probably half the size of pea collectively, perhaps less. That's it. However much you choose to use is up to you - be sure and use an amount that's safe and effective for your dog. Effectiveness: this works and it works well! In just 3 days using the same vanilla flavored enzymatic toothpaste by CET I was seeing improvement. By day 7, that improvement was so obvious I was actually surprised by how much better they looked. It's now been a little over two weeks and they are looking considerably better! Conservatively, I'm thinking a 50% improvement. Not bad for just 2 weeks, right? I'm actually think I'm going to be able to completely reverse things - we'll see. I'll try and update this review again in a few weeks and let you know how it's looking but in the meantime, I am absolutely thrilled with this brush. I paid $16 and it came 2 in a pack) and the first (and only one) I've been using still looks brand new after it's rinsed off. All in all - this brush is a game changer! I can now brush our dogs back teeth and even the back sides of her teeth, all in less than a couple minutes a day.

Great dog toothbrush!
Color: Blue (2-pack)
I’ve been using this product for a year now, and it’s been working great. When paired with vanilla mint enzymatic toothpaste, it effectively cleans my Pomsky’s teeth, including the back teeth. As a result, my fur baby’s teeth remain as white as ever!
