Description

Breynia nivosa (Ice Cream bush)
Description:
Breynia nivosa, or Snowbush, is an ornamental shrub admired for its finely textured, variegated foliage. The small, rounded leaves feature a stunning mix of green, white, and pink, creating a soft, frosted appearance. Perfect for garden borders, hedges, or container planting, this tropical beauty thrives in warm climates and makes a delightful indoor accent as well.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to maintain vibrant coloration. It can tolerate partial shade but will lose its variegation in low light. Avoid harsh midday sun, which may scorch the foliage.
Water: Requires consistent moisture but should not be waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Humidity: Loves high humidity. Indoors, mist regularly or place near a humidifier to replicate tropical conditions.
Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions, ideally between 20-30°C. Sensitive to frost and cold; protect from temperatures below 10°C.
Soil: Grows well in rich, well-draining soil with organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in cooler months.
Pruning: Trim regularly to shape and maintain compact growth. Pruning also encourages denser foliage.
Special Notes:
Breynia nivosa is a low-maintenance plant that adds elegance to tropical gardens, patios, and indoor displays. Its colorful foliage creates year-round visual interest. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect roots in warm weather.
