If your Buxus plant turns brown in winter, this is typical of this species. After growing in the summer, their growth rate decreases in the winter months drastically. Planting position: Buxus plants are reasonably versatile and adaptable, they are best planted in full sun through to partial shade. Soil: Before planting cultivation of the soil will prove to be thoroughly beneficial. By digging a deeper hole than required you are ensuring the compacted layers of soil are broken down, this enables the roots to grow more satisfactorily. Ideally you should increase the humus levels in the soil by adding compost or well rotted manure. Suitable for container planting: Yes, most definitely, Buxus are equally happy in a pot as they are in the ground. Keep in mind if pot planted, they will need to be repotted approximately every 3 years in larger pots and fresh compost. We would also recommend that you clear the area around the Buxus plant of fallen leaves and other plant debris, as these conditions can promote the growth of fungus and diseases, which are very common in Buxus hedging plants. Pruning Buxus Plants After Cold Winters Box succeeds in full sun or shade. Buxus sempervirens often occurs wild as an under-shrub in mature deciduous woods. But it will grow faster in relatively high light levels.

Early diagnosis and plant care are key to controlling Volutella blight. Unlike box blight full plant recovery can be expected if cultural conditions are improved. This includes the removal of diseased branches when foliage is dry and old leaves from the interior of infected plants. Destroy the debris and wipe clean cutting tools with a suitable disinfectant to prevent the spread of further disease. An application of Top Buxus, high in nitrogen for strong growth and sulphur a natural fungicidal agent to defend against blight will benefit the plant. Control & Prevention Generally speaking, the method for forming these taller shapes is very similar to that for balls and cubes, although the plants are obviously grown into a taller and narrower shape. Buxus sempervirens – the common box is native to the British Isles and has small, evergreen leaves and a dense habit. It's a popular choice for hedging and can be clipped into all manner of shapes for topiary.
