Breynia nivosa "Snow Bush" Care | A Plant A Week

[@Stonedmetalhead666]

Just got one as a gift about 2 weeks ago. I love the little thing. It's such an awesome plant. Thank you for the info

[@plantlifewithconnie]

I just picked one of these up from my local Walmart Garden Center. It was my first time coming across one and I was in awe of how beautiful the variegation on the leaves was. Thanks for the great info!

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully the video will help in the care! Mines still pretty finicky, haha.

[@anthonylawson518]

How is yours doing? I just got one today..i hadn't heard of it or seen it until yesterday! I had to go back to get it today!

[@plantlifewithconnie]

@@anthonylawson518 It was doing really well on my patio for a while but it always needed lots of water! It lost a lot of leaves while I was away on vacation so I gave it away.

[@anthonylawson518]

@@plantlifewithconnie oh no...I hope I can keep it alive

[@s1dewalk_l0ser24]

Just picked up a very small one of these from my local nursery. It was branded as a small terrarium plant, but I wanna make sure I can care for it before I think about adding it to a terrarium. It’s doing well so far, I’m very happy! Thank you for this video :)

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Ohh that’d be interesting, keeping it as a terrarium plant! It’s probably require regular trimming to keep it small.

[@EolianWolf]

Thanks for the info! I just found one of these in a San Diego nursery! I only bought one but wish I'd bought more, as they had both a pink and a white variety. I really hope we see these catch on as house plants - they're beautiful! Hoping I can keep mine thriving indoors in the desert!

[@hamxham88]

just snagged one on sale at my local plant shop, I'm so excited for it! thank you for the video - straightforward, super informative ❤️

[@vanzarliana]

We have had this plant for years and until today I never knew it's name.. I never fertilize it, I hardly water it but it is thriving.. however we do get a lot of rain and we are relatively humid.. thanks for the tips!!

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Oh wow! That’s incredible! It must really love where you have it! I know in the summers when the humidity is higher mine does well too, has yours ever bloomed?

[@colleenjohnson4116]

I have 5 of these and turned them into topiaries I get so many compliments about them

[@michaeljohnhalse]

ooooh! I can imagine. they’d make such beautiful topiaries!

[@heathergallant2469]

I found a Snow Bush yesterday at my local grocery store. It's so delicate looking and I love the snowy top. Thanks for all the info!

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Still one of my favs! I love how delicate it is too, so many houseplants have these large, glossy leaves, it’s nice finding something little and delicate. haha

[@nutcracker5094]

Thank you so much, I have two of these but just treated them very casually, I keep trimming them though , and they are also good as topiary

[@sunitathapliyal2088]

Beautiful music in the background...well explained❤️

[@burtwonk]

Nice video. I just picked up a tiny one today and I’m looking forward to watching it grow.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Thanks! They are one of the cooler plants to watch grow imo, the vines grow out first and then they get these tiny little leaves on them.

[@steph6337]

I grow these as a shrub around my chicken coop, I love how whimsical they move in the breeze.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Wow, and my scraggly little thing is barely clinging to life this winter. haha. They do have a cool shimmer though!

[@madhuripadamati2695]

Thank you for the very informative video. I got this plant as a gift and I’m trying to figure out the environment it needs. My tiny plant seems to wilt very very quickly. I was watering it two times a week and when I water the water runs straight out of the drain holes. I wasn’t home for three days and when I got back I found the leaves to be crispy. They’re not wilted, not yellow/brown but look crispy. I watered it today. Should I repot? Please tell me what I should do to revive it. Thanks!

[@SAMMIsLIFE]

Very informative and love the relaxing music. The snowbush is so pretty! I want one one day.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

It is a pretty one! Probably the prettiest plant I own, haha. And thanks! The music was made to be a part of a soundtrack to accompany my fantasy board game, we wanted to add some ambiance players could play in the background while they played, haha.

[@amyhatfield3554]

I just picked this plant up a few weeks ago in my local nursery . I knew nothing about it when I bought it but I really thought it was so delicate and pretty . I live in Zone 5 so I’ve been pretty diligent about the watering and misting .So far so good! Thanks for the informative video!

[@michaeljohnhalse]

SO so pretty! I wish I had more of them, I only have the one, and I’m praying it makes it through winter, haha.

[@amyhatfield3554]

So do I! It gets pretty cold up here!

[@marissashamalamabingbong2272]

My favorite nursery in seabrook (maas nursery) just got these and looked them up and found this video! Will def be purchasing !!

[@michaeljohnhalse]

they’re DEFINITELY worth it. such pretty plants!

[@عبداللهسليم-ه4ف]

شكراً لكَ لقد استفدت كثيراً منكَ ؛ كل الحب لكَ ؛ ❤

[@jordaneliza3753]

Such a finicky plant! Mine is 5ft and losing leaves like crazy (around 10 a day)-I live in the high desert so I suspect it’s a humidity problem.

[@josie4852]

I just found one of these outside :) thank you for your video

[@karenheath8186]

I am so sorry for the sadness you experienced. I am still sad and lonesome for my Snow. I raised him from 6 months old and had to have him euthanized 13 years later. Still lost without him. He was my buddy and the only family I had. Thanks for responding to me and again I learned a lot from you about my new Snowbush.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Well I hope your snow bush grows big and strong in Snow’s memory!! ♥️

I got 3 of these on clearance at Walmart $2 each! Wish me luck 🤞🙏

[@karenheath8186]

Thanks I just bought a Snowbush in memory of my kitty Snow. Hopefully I won't kill it!!! I miss him terribly.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Oh I’m sorry to hear that! the loss of a pet can be pretty traumatizing. ♥️

[@karenheath8186]

@@michaeljohnhalse Thanks that means a lot! I'll be following you now. I love plants and can tell you do too.

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Karen Heath I lost the dog that I grew up with in 2012, back when I was 23, and the grief from that lasted with my up until a couple years ago, so I know how difficult it can be, and how painful. BUT. the plants help, a little, they’re no pet, but the still bring me a lot of calm and peace!!

[@milkamejias1486]

I just got one in Walmart today for $3.68 it’s beautiful

[@myownembroiderywork5403]

Spb 👍👍

[@wallypaige8496]

WILL IT GROW IN ZONE 5 ONTARIO CANADA. So this is a indoor plant

[@michaeljohnhalse]

outdoors, it only grows in zones 10-11, so it’s best kept as a houseplant in Canada.

[@wallypaige8496]

@@michaeljohnhalse Thank you.

[@donnychen3789]

when you say you keep it in your westfacing window do you mean right up on the window sill? That sounds to me like it would scorch the leaves! I just got one and am currently keeping it in a bathroom with east facing window and an avg of 50% humidity, you think that will be enough o keep it alive?

[@donnychen3789]

And I agree it's definitely quite a rare species as I can seem to find too much care info on the web!

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Donny Chen Yeah, that’s exactly where I keep it. Right in a west-facing window sill, I thought it would scorch it too! Seems too delicate for that kind of light, but it’s doing really well. I think it’d do fine in an easy facing window as well! I think it just needs somewhere where the light is bright.

[@homebirding1308]

How do you make it so white? Mine is mostly green :(

[@michaeljohnhalse]

Oh interesting! I bought mine with a lot of white, but I’d think that giving it a lot of bright light would help promote more variegation.

[@roxy6725]

Доброго дня! У меня тоже есть эта красотка.
