Cultivation methods and precautions of boxwood

1. Breeding methods

1. Water: It needs more water during its growth period, so you can water it a little more to keep the planting soil slightly moist. However, you cannot water the plant in large quantities for a long time, as this may easily lead to water accumulation. In hot seasons, in addition to watering more, you should also spray water appropriately.

2. Pruning: When unsightly branches appear on the plant, they need to be cut off as soon as possible, otherwise it will greatly affect the appearance. Usually after it sprouts new shoots, you should properly trim off the top 1-2 nodes to prevent it from growing too tall.

3. Fertilization: During its vigorous growth period, which is around May to August, it is necessary to apply thin cake fertilizer water 1-2 times a month. When fertilizing in winter, it is usually sufficient to apply base fertilizer once.

2. Precautions

1. Exposure to light: Boxwood grows better in sunny places outdoors, so it should be exposed to appropriate light and avoid being kept in dark places for a long time.

2. Rain shelter: Take rain shelter measures in advance in rainy weather. Do not let the bonsai be exposed to rain, which will easily cause water accumulation in the potting soil, which is not conducive to its growth.
