Environment
Boxwood thrives in well-drained soil ranging from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline, ideally placed in dappled or partial shade.
Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, as excessive watering can cause yellowing and leaf drop.
Fertilize biweekly during active growth and every six weeks during dormancy, using a balanced fertilizer year-round and a high-nitrogen formula in spring to support vigorous new growth.
