About White Ghost Cactus – Euphorbia Lactea Variegata
White Ghost Cactus (Euphorbia lactea ‘White Ghost’) is a branching succulent, not a true cactus, with ridged, nearly white stems lined with small spines. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a plant similar to the one in the photos.
What does White Ghost Cactus look like?
The stems are three- to four-sided, with wavy ridges and pairs of short spines along the edges. In this form most of the green is missing, so stems are ivory to chalky white, sometimes with green streaks or a pink to yellow flush in cool weather or bright light. It grows upright and branches into a candelabra shape over time.
It is a euphorbia, so it bleeds milky sap when cut, which a true cactus does not. Find more of our other succulents in the shop.
How do you care for White Ghost Cactus?
- Light: Bright light with some direct sun. Shield it from harsh afternoon sun, because the white stems scorch more easily than green ones.
- Water: Only when the soil is completely dry. Water very little in winter.
- Humidity: Average room air.
- Soil: A gritty cactus mix with extra pumice or perlite.
- Temperature: 60–85°F. Keep it above 50°F.
- Pets: Not pet safe. The milky sap irritates skin, eyes and mouth, so keep it away from pets and children.
With little green tissue it grows slowly. Turn the pot now and then so it grows straight, and wear gloves when you handle it.

How does White Ghost Cactus ship?
We ship within the United States by USPS from our California warehouse. Orders leave within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 2–5 days later. Shipping is $12 for the first plant and $4 for each extra plant. Hawaii is a flat $30.
Ordering in cold weather? We can add a heat pack to the box for a small extra fee. Message us when you place your order.
If your plant arrives dead or badly damaged, tell us within 3 days of delivery and include an unboxing video. We will send a replacement.
Can I order from outside the US?
Labijo.com ships to US addresses only. If you live in another country, contact our home nursery in Indonesia through labijo.id and ask what they can send to you. Plant material crossing borders needs a phytosanitary certificate, and some countries also ask for an import permit, so they will check your country’s rules with you.
