GROWTH HABITS:
► It’s time to re-pot when your plant demands water every day. Increase pot size by 4-6 inches. IMPORTANT: In winter your snow bush will let you know it’s cold by wilting and losing leaves. Move it to a protected spot if possible and don’t panic, she’ll endure! When spring comes, move her back to a bright spot and cut back even if you only have 17 leaves. Start to water and fertilize regularly. Warm weather will bring out beautiful new growth. Be patient, this may take awhile.
