Plant/Product Description:
Euphorbia lactea variegata, commonly known as the White Ghost Euphorbia, is a stunning, variegated succulent that features creamy white to pale green stems with streaks of light pink or purple. The plant grows in an upright, tree-like form, with branching arms that give it a sculptural, ghostly appearance. The variegated coloring and the smooth texture of the stems make it a visually striking addition to any collection.

This low-maintenance succulent is perfect for containers, gardens, or as an accent in succulent arrangements.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate bright, indirect light. Full sun enhances the variegation and compact growth.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Euphorbia lactea variegata is generally dormant in winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Toxicity:
Euphorbia lactea variegata is toxic to both humans and pets.
