Tips To Take Care Of Your Boxwood

Boxwood can be relatively easy to plant, as long as proper care and attention is given to the planting process.
1. First, it's important to select the right location for the hedge. Boxwood prefers well-drained soil and can grow in full sun or partial shade.

2. The next step is to prepare the soil by removing any weeds or debris, and digging a hole that is twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball of the plant.

3. When planting the boxwood, be sure to set the plant at the same depth as it was growing in its container. Backfill the hole with soil and gently tamp down to remove any air pockets.

After planting, it's important to water the hedge well to help it establish roots. Boxwood requires consistent moisture, so be sure to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

As they are slow-growing, they may take a while to establish and fill in. Pruning and shaping can be done to encourage growth and maintain desired shape.
Fertilizing may not be necessary but if you want to use it, it's best to fertilize in the spring before new growth begins.

Overall, while Boxwood is relatively easy to plant, it is important to provide the appropriate care to ensure the plants establish well and thrive.
