Characteristics

Despite its common name, the White Ghost Cactus is not actually a cactus. Its true scientific name is Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost'. It belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family, which makes it a relative of poinsettias, rather than cactuses. The Ghost Cactus features semi-flattened stems that form intricate, elongated, and arching branches. These branches are typically a pale, almost ethereal gray-green color, creating a ghostly effect that lends the plant its intriguing name.

How to Care for Ghost Cactus

  • Light: Bright/filtered light or full sun at least 6 hours per day. 
  • Water Preferences: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Do not let the soil stay completely dry for too long and provide it with well-draining succulent soil. 
  • Special Care/Notes: Ghost Cactus is a hardy plant that can withstand a range of temperatures, but it generally prefers warmer conditions.
