Snowbush

     We bought a Snowbush (Breynia nivosa roseo-picta) plant at Home Depot almost a month ago. We supposed to plant it on the space we have in our front yard next to the White Birch Tree but we decided not to because it requires keeping the soil moist at all times. We don't water our plants and flowers everyday. Usually we did water them once or twice a week only. If we forget to water the Snowbush it may wilt and die as what happened to some of my plants that I haven't taking cared of because most of my time is being occupied by my job, family and blogging. So we decided to plant it in a pot and placed it in our backyard where I can always see it every day.

     Snowbush has a highly colored foliage. Its stems are bright red and its papery leaves are rose, white and green. The interesting feature of this plant is its ability to change its color. If the plant is placed in a sunny location, the color of the leaves will start out green, then maroon, then pink and finally changes to pure white. But if you placed it in the shade, the snowbush's leaves will turn green. 

Feed: Snowbush should be fed once a month in a regular basis to maintain its healthy, dark, green color  leaves.

Light: Full sun to bright shade.

Water: Keep moist at all times.

If you love plants with nice colored foliage, Snowbush is perfect for you. Happy planting!
