Euphorbia Lactea Ghost Crested
Prepare to be captivated by the surreal beauty of Euphorbia lactea 'Ghost Crested'. This highly sought-after succulent is a crested (monstrose) form of Euphorbia lactea, resulting in a fascinating, irregular, and often dramatically wavy fan-like structure. Its most striking feature is its ghostly variegation, a stunning blend of pure white, creamy tones, and subtle hints of pale green, creating a marbleized effect that is truly unique. Each plant is a one-of-a-kind living sculpture, making it a prized addition to any succulent aficionado's collection. While its appearance might seem delicate, it's a relatively resilient plant with proper care.
Key Characteristics:
Unique Crested Morphology: Exhibits a fascinating, flattened, and often convoluted fan-shaped growth.
Striking Ghostly Variegation: Features a beautiful and contrasting mix of white, cream, and pale green.
Architectural Interest: Its unusual form adds a dramatic and artistic element to any space.
Relatively Drought-Tolerant: Typical of many succulents, it prefers drier conditions.
Care Tips for Your 'Ghost Crested':
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Too much intense direct sun can scorch the white parts of the variegation.
Watering: Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Overwatering is a significant risk for crested euphorbias. Reduce watering drastically during the dormant winter months.
Soil: Plant in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix. Ensure your pot has drainage holes.
Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (65-80°F or 18-27°C) during the growing season. Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Handling: Be cautious when handling as the sap can be irritating to the skin. Wear gloves if necessary.
Dormancy: Expect slower growth during the winter months, and adjust watering accordingly.The plant pictured is the actual plant you receive.
