Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' – Rare Variegated Euphorbia with Ghostly Stems

Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' (also traded as 'Grey Ghost') is one of the most iconic cultivars in the genus. Unlike the green form, this selection is almost completely devoid of chlorophyll, giving its triangular stems a creamy white to silvery-grey appearance. Arranged in dense candelabra form, the stems can eventually exceed 3 metres in height under ideal conditions, creating a sculptural silhouette that hardly resembles a living plant. Slow but steady, it adapts well to indoor culture and is more resilient on its own roots than often assumed.

What Makes Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' Unique

  • Coloration: Nearly chlorophyll-free stems with creamy white, grey, and pale green marbling.
  • Growth Habit: Upright triangular branches forming candelabra-like clusters.
  • Size Potential: Can surpass 3 m in height in warm climates; more compact in pots indoors.
  • Collector Appeal: Rare, architectural form that looks more like sculpture than a plant.

Natural Background of Euphorbia lactea

The species Euphorbia lactea is native to tropical Asia, particularly India and Sri Lanka, where it grows in arid scrub and dry forests. The 'White Ghost' cultivar originated in cultivation and does not occur naturally in the wild. Its variegation results from a lack of chlorophyll, making it slower growing and more light-sensitive than the standard green form.

Care Tips for Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost'

  • Light: Requires very bright light; acclimate gradually to avoid sunburn on pale stems.
  • Watering: Follow a “soak and dry” method; allow soil to dry completely before watering again.
  • Soil: Use a fast-draining mineral substrate with pumice, lava, or sand.
  • Temperature: Warm-growing; keep above 15 °C and protect from frost.
  • Fertilizer: Apply diluted cactus or succulent feed during active growth.
  • Containers: Heavy pots help stabilize tall plants; ensure excellent drainage.

Points to Keep in Mind

  • Growth Rate: Slower than green E. lactea due to reduced chlorophyll.
  • Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or scale; inspect stems regularly.
  • Toxicity: Like all Euphorbia, the latex sap is toxic and irritant; wear gloves when handling.

Why Collectors Prize Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost'

The cultivar’s stark, ghostly tones and unusual architectural form set it apart from other Euphorbia. Its sculptural silhouette enhances minimalist interiors, desert-style plantings, and collector greenhouses. Despite its delicate look, it is surprisingly hardy when grown on its own roots, requiring little more than bright light and restraint with watering.

Etymology

The genus name Euphorbia is believed to honor Euphorbus, physician to King Juba II of Mauretania in the 1st century BCE, who was noted for using succulent plants medicinally. The cultivar epithet 'White Ghost' refers to its spectral pale coloration.

Not the sorry copper coated aluminum.
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
The wire is 16 gauge plenty big for my system. Heck, the wires supplied with my stereo, copomonet speakers, and amplifiers are about 20 or 24 gauge. I'm quite sure the wire will be more than suffeceint. I, m installing a mono sub amplifier a four-way amplifier to the sub amp outputs and the front of lines of the stereo. I'm gonna be pushing 20 speakers all except the sub woofer only pushing 100 watts a channel and the sub will push 150 watts. That makes 21 altogether. Not much just good clean sound. I've been working on the project going on 5 years now. Been bargain hunting, besides the work I've only got about $650 in the project. Can't wait to get it completed here around the end of July. Hopefully, it will sound great didn't want to pay anyone. Seen too many "professional" jobs that were subpar. I've seen some nightmares. Figured if l did the job then who could I blame at least I can only blame myself and didn't pay $1,000 for it. 😁🤔

It's a good one, buy it.
Size: 16 AWG-100 ft
Actual 5 stars! OFC, copper stranded wire, takes solder nicely when tinned, stiff and pliable enough to stay bent. covering melts INTO wire as expected. I was hoping for a good deal and got one.

Smaller than the original, but works well.
When I received it, it was so small that I thought it was a toy, or maybe for some 4cyl engine. It is significantly smaller than the original one. When I looked closer, the mount holes did line up, so I tried it. I did have to get shorter mount bolts. To my surprise, it works great! I don't know what the longevity will be, but it made it through a busy august! Considering the price and how small it is, I might just buy a second one to keep on board. Just in case.
