Plantation
Planting Buxus sempervirens does not require much effort, but there are some points that must be taken into account before and during the planting of Buxus;
​
Mix the soil with sufficient peat nutrient mixture. This ensures a well-drained soil and strongly promotes the root formation of the plant.
You can also do some digging and turn everything well to get a drained soil.
When the weather is warm and you plant Buxus in your garden, it is very important to give it sufficient water. This is also recommended when planting in flower boxes or flower pots.

Always fertilize with organic fertilizer, never chemical
Pruning is best done in the months of April - October
When Boxwood was planted next to a terrace or large piece of pavement, try to avoid excess water. This can be solved, among other things, by making a small trench or gutter that leads away the majority of water.
