How to revitalize old boxwood

1. Choose the time

If you want to grow old boxwood by cuttings, you can choose mid-April or late June. These two time periods are just right for rooting and the climate is suitable.

2. Cut branches

Cuttings can affect its survival. Boxwood can be propagated by cuttings from old branches, and it can also survive, but the survival rate is not very high. It is best to choose strong branches that are one to two years old, as the survival rate of such branches is higher. The selected branches should be free of pests and diseases, in good growth condition and with strong vitality. The best time to cut branches is around 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and place them in a cool place after cutting to avoid excessive evaporation of water.

3. Processing branches

After cutting the branches, because the wound part can take root when healing, the lower branches and leaves should be removed, and then the branches should be tied up and soaked in a container of clean water.

4. Take cuttings

Applying sufficient water to the soil before cuttings can facilitate rooting in the later stage. Then insert the branches into the soil to a depth of about 3-4 cm, and then cover them with plastic film to keep them warm and moisturizing. After that, water it every 7 days or so, and keep the temperature around 20-30 degrees Celsius.
