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.

- Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
