Euphorbia Lactea Crested Graft White

Euphorbia lactea 'White Ghost' Crested Graft is a captivating and otherworldly succulent hybrid, cherished for its unique crested form and ghostly white appearance. The crest, a fan-like or brain-like structure formed due to a genetic mutation, exhibits a wavy, undulating pattern that creates a dramatic silhouette. This striking feature is further enhanced by its lack of chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for photosynthesis, resulting in an almost pure white or pale gray coloration.

Due to its inability to photosynthesize, the 'White Ghost' crest is grafted onto a rootstock of a different Euphorbia species, typically Euphorbia neriifolia or Euphorbia canariensis. This provides the plant with the necessary nutrients and support to thrive. The grafting process also adds an interesting visual element, with the green rootstock contrasting beautifully with the white crest.
