I live in South Florida but away from salt air. The plants are about 18 inches tall and have only been in the ground about 2 weeks. They...Read More are thriving well and look beautiful with new growth coming out already. Problem: There are several little caterpillers on the plants already. They haven't eaten much and I've sprayed the entire plant area with liquid Sevin. Will this take care of my problem? The caterpillers are a little more than an inch long, very slender with yellowish bodies and black at the tip of the head and black feet. The moths that laid the eggs are most certainly smallish black creatures with orange heads as those are the ones I've seen fluttering around the bushes.
My dwarf Breynia is container grown outside in light shade. It is most attractive, but not as compact as the one pictured above. Before...Read More entering it in a flower show, I will see that the light is increased to bring out the pink color.
It never did get any pink in the leaves. Guess it isn't meant to be anything by shades of green and white.
I purchased and am growing this plant in Zone 9a (around the New Orleans area).
Breynia disticha 'Minima' is very compact-...Read Moregrowning with tiny white-and-green leaves and pinkish tones in the new growth. Its growth habit is round and growth rate is moderate.
The branches of this shrub are slender, wiry, reddish, and appear to zig-zag. Snow bush has green, petal-less flowers that occur in axillary clusters on long peduncles; the flowers are mostly inconspicuous due to the striking foliage. The fruits are red berries that are 3/8-inch wide.
This shrub is from the South Pacific and is commonly used as a hedge plant. It can be used as a specimen plant, in mass plantings, as a border or foundation plant, and can be grown indoors.
Soil preferences include acidic, slightly alkaline, sandy, and loamy. It is said to have poor salt tolerance.
The shrub I have is growing in a neat, attractive, rounded shape. The plant, when touched, feels so soft and delicate.
I have also seen other cultivars of Breynia disticha with much more pink in the foliage, and some which are much taller.
This cute little shrub is one of the most interesting and attractive plants that I have come across, and I love it!
