Breynia disticha 'Variegata' – Snowbush
Breynia disticha 'Variegata', commonly known as Snowbush, is a striking tropical foliage plant admired for its elegant cream and green variegation. Its delicate branching stems and marbled leaves create a soft, airy appearance while still maintaining a full and lush growth habit.
Each leaf develops unique patterns of creamy white and green, giving every plant a one-of-a-kind appearance. Bright conditions help maintain stronger variegation and encourage healthy compact growth.
Light
Prefers bright indirect light. Gentle direct morning sun may help maintain stronger variegation.
Soil
Use a rich, well-draining potting mix that retains light moisture while allowing excess water to drain.
Water
Keep soil lightly moist and allow the top portion to dry slightly between waterings.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives between 18–27°C and appreciates moderate to higher humidity.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly during spring and summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Potting & Repotting
Repot only when rootbound. Fresh soil every few years helps maintain vigorous growth.
