Euphorbia Lactea Ghost Crested
Euphorbia lactea 'Ghost Crested'
A Living Sculpture of Pale Elegance
Euphorbia lactea 'Ghost Crested' is a truly mesmerizing succulent, treasured for its ghostly white, fan-shaped crest and dramatic, sculptural form. This rare crested mutation of Euphorbia lactea forms undulating, coral-like ridges that give the plant a surreal, almost otherworldly appearance. Its slow growth and architectural shape make it a prized specimen for serious collectors and lovers of botanical oddities.
Key Characteristics:
- Ghostly White Crest: The defining feature is its fan-shaped, crested growth in shades of white or pale gray, due to a lack of chlorophyll in these areas.
- Unique Morphology: Exhibits fascinating wavy, folded, or convoluted patterns, making each plant distinct.
- Grafted Plant: Typically sold grafted onto a green Euphorbia rootstock for stability and growth.
- High Ornamental Value: Its unusual appearance makes it a striking focal point in any collection.
- Slow-Growing: A relatively slow grower, maintaining its unique shape for extended periods.
- Small Spines: May have small spines along the crested ridges.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid intense, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the delicate white crest. Morning sun or filtered light is ideal to maintain its coloration and prevent damage.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting around the roots.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. The plant will be shipped as bare rooted
Please note — NT, TAS, WA customers: please contact us before placing your order due to additional quarantine charges associated with these locations.
