Description:
Euphorbia 'White Ghost' is a stunning and rare cultivar of Euphorbia lactea, prized for its ghostly pale white to silvery stems with subtle green striping and pinkish accents at the tips. With no chlorophyll, it has an almost otherworldly appearance that makes it a standout in any plant collection.

Care Tips:
-
Protect from frost and extreme cold—bring indoors if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C).
-
Handle with care: Euphorbia sap is toxic and can cause skin irritation.
-
Use gloves when handling or repotting.
-
Avoid overwatering—root rot is the most common issue.
Pet Safety:
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
