Can boxwood be transplanted in autumn?

Boxwood can be transplanted in autumn, but the best time to transplant is in spring, usually around mid-April, because at this time it has slowly resumed growth, and the temperature and climate are basically stable. After transplanting, it can adapt to the new environment more quickly and resume growth.

Boxwood Transplanting Method in Autumn

1. Before transplanting, prune the dead and weak branches of the boxwood to reduce its consumption of water and nutrients. At the same time, prune the dense branches and leaves. This can increase internal ventilation and light transmission, which is also beneficial to its growth after transplanting.

2. The survival rate of boxwood will be very high when transplanted in an environment with suitable temperature. After digging it out, keep the soil ball on its roots and put the soil ball into the pot when transplanting. Do not plant it too deep. After the soil is compacted, water it thoroughly and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

Notes on boxwood transplanting

1. When transplanting boxwood, you must pay attention to the method and try to minimize damage to its roots. It is best to transplant it with soil and water it in time. It will resume growth in about half a month.

2. Boxwood likes to grow in fertile and soft sandy soil. The potting soil can be made of garden soil or leaf mold and mixed with appropriate rice husk ash to supplement certain nutrients for its growth.
