What plant is that?
What manure is suitable for it?
How to take care it?
Why it can be so light green? Is it because of suitable manure? I saw some of the plant is dark green. Why?

Ericaceae.

It sounds much better in French, but then, everything does.

Actually I don't think it's an ericaceae plant (ie, an erica or
heather). The picture looks like a rosemary to me. Kinda small pic, wish
it were bigger (a lot of programs resize pictures for e-mailing and
posting, I wish people would turn that "feature" off.)

But I could be wrong, it's happened before. :-)

Also around December, a lot places sell rosemary bushes in pots, trimmed
to look like miniature Christmas trees. This looks like one of those.

I had one of those, it would get gazillions of small pink flowers in spring
and summer.
The translation I've found for bruyère is Ericaceae, but there are 800
species of it.

Doesn't look like either a Heather or a Rosemary to me, more like a small
conifer.

That seems to be it. I thought something was off.

What plant is that?

Not sure. My first thought was a juvenile Cypress or Juniper.
Erica not Ericaceae, that means Erica family which includes many plants
such as Arbutus and Rhododendron not just Erica, which this may be.

Has it ever bloomed?

What manure is suitable for it?
How to take care it?
Why it can be so light green? Is it because of suitable manure? I saw

You need to identify the plant, which can't be done from your picture.
Take it to a nursery or botanical garden.
Even if we decided that it was an Erica we would need to know the
species because there are lime loving and lime hating Ericas and the
wrong soil would produce the light green leaves.
If it is a Rosemary it might need more light or it might be a variegated
variety - not likely, the leaves are wrong for Rosemary
If it is a Cypress or Juniper it needs more light.

I think it's a Cupressocyparis Macrocarpa Goldcrest, a type of conifer.

These are useful for pots or the border in full sun or dappled shade and will get up to a height of 15 foot if you let them, but they can be clipped to shape and 'topiarised'.

They are fine in most ordinary garden soils but prefer a good rich open soil that retains moisture.

If you want to grow it in a pot, use a good 'tree and shrub' compost and a general slow release food.
They are big drinkers and absolutely hate to dry out, so make sure the soil is always moist.

The only other thing to bear in mind is that they are not totally hardy and will only tolerate temperature of -4'c to -6'c for short periods, anything lower will kill them.
So if frost is forecast, make sure they are either brought undercover and out of the cold, or fleece them.

Oh and it's probably two different shades of green due to being in the dark on one side and the sun on the other, a problem caused by being on shop shelves for too long away from naural light.
The colours will even out back to a nice golden green colour once back in the sun.
