Euphorbia lactea, commonly known as the "Ghost Cactus" or "Dragon Bones," is an intriguing succulent plant that belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. Despite its common name, it is not a true cactus but rather a succulent shrub native to tropical regions of Asia, including India and Sri Lanka. The Ghost Cactus is popular among succulent enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and unique growth habit.

Here's a guide on how to grow and care for Euphorbia lactea as a houseplant:

  1. Light: Provide bright, gentle sunlight to your Ghost Cactus. It thrives in full to partial sun conditions. Place it near a window or on a windowsill where it can receive several hours of bright, filtered light each day. Avoid exposing it to many hours of scorching hot sunlight, as it can scorch the plant.

  2. Temperature: Ghost Cacti prefer warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect the plant from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) and avoid exposing it to cold drafts.

  3. Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Alternatively, you can create a soil mix by combining regular potting soil with perlite or coarse sand to improve drainage.

  4. Watering: Euphorbia lactea is a drought-tolerant plant and requires infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water the plant once every two to three weeks. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant is dormant to once a month or even less.

  5. Humidity: Ghost Cacti can tolerate average household humidity levels. However, they prefer low to moderate humidity. If your home is particularly humid, ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues.

  6. Fertilizer: Feed your Ghost Cactus with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer during the growing season. Follow the package instructions for the appropriate dosage and frequency. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

  7. Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil. Repotting is typically necessary every two to three years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Be cautious while handling the Ghost Cactus, as it produces a milky sap that can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Wear gloves and protect your eyes when working with it.

The Ghost Cactus, Euphorbia lactea, is renowned for its unique appearance. It features fleshy, pale green to bluish-green stems that grow upright or twist and spiral in a fascinating manner, resembling the skeleton of a dragon, which contributes to its common name "Dragon Bones." The stems have distinct, raised ridges and are adorned with small spines or thorns along their edges.

Additionally, Euphorbia lactea has the ability to produce striking variegated forms, with patterns of white, cream, or yellow on the stems, adding to its allure. These variegated varieties are highly prized among succulent collectors.

The Ghost Cactus is a captivating addition to any succulent collection or as an eye-catching houseplant, thanks to its architectural form and unusual growth patterns. However, it's important to handle this plant with care due to the toxic sap it produces. Keep it away from children and pets and wash your hands thoroughly after handling it.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.

What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger
