Ghost Cactus (Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost')
$99.99
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.

"What a fun and whimsical nursery. There is something for everyone. It feels like every turn you find another treasure. Pricing is boutique-like but plenty of items on the under $15 side. We went in today for greeting cards and found the perfect cards for my grandma. I've purchased many garden supplies and plants here as well. They always have great quality and variety. The owner is amazing, generous, and community focused."
