Description
Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost', also known as the White Ghost Euphorbia or Dragon Bones Tree, is a striking succulent with a unique appearance. It has a candelabra-like structure with white, spine-covered stems that lack chlorophyll, giving it a ghostly appearance. The stems are usually green with white lines, and the plant can grow up to 15 feet (4.5 meters) tall in its natural habitat. It rarely flowers in cultivation, but when it does, the flowers are small and yellow, appearing in paired cyathia near the stem tips. The plant produces a milky sap that is toxic and can cause skin irritation, so it's important to handle it with care. Native to India, it thrives in semi-arid and rocky regions. Prefers well-drained soils and can tolerate drought conditions.


Care and Cultivation
Requires full sun to partial shade. It needs at least six hours of direct sunlight each day, but some protection from intense afternoon sun may be necessary to prevent burns. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Water more frequently during the growing season and reduce watering in winter. Needs well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging. A mix of regular potting soil with sand or perlite works well. Prefers moderate humidity. Misting with rainwater can help provide foliar feeding. Thrives in warm temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept indoors or in a plant house during colder months. Can be propagated through seeds or stem cuttings. Use gloves to handle the plant due to its toxic sap.

Fun Fact
In regions where it is winter-hardy, it can be used as a specimen plant, hedge, or container plant. It also makes an excellent houseplant

Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. 

Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter.
