How to water boxwood

1. Watering during the seedling stage

During the seedling stage, the root system of boxwood is shallow, so the amount of water applied each time must not be too much. It should be applied in small amounts and multiple times to avoid affecting the growth of the root system. In general, just make sure the soil surface is slightly moist. If you are not sure how much is appropriate, you can test it with your hand after watering.

2. Watering during the growing season

If boxwood enters a rapid growth period, it will have a greater demand for water. It must be watered frequently and thoroughly each time, but there should be no accumulation of water to avoid root rot. In late summer, you should start to control watering, preferably in the morning or evening, avoiding the highest temperature at noon.
