How do I find out how to care for my new houseplant Breynia distecha 'Snow Bush'? All that seems to pop up is just the common names and/or cultivars for this plant. I need info on how to care for this plant. Do you have a specifice area in this website for specific plant care when a name is put in? Thanks so much.

Hi. I think this plant is pretty hardy. The 'snow' appearance will be more if the tops are pruned and the new leaves get white. I do not take any special care for mine. Just been watering them and pruning the tips once in a while.
For your second point, I don't think there is any provision here which 'spoon-feeds' the info. about specific plant care. But some members have fed the info. in the plants database in the comments section. You can try this using the 'search' option. I follow this.
