This kind of plant is evergreen all the year round, and its tree shape is simple and elegant, which is very charming. Today, I will introduce you to the cultivation method of bonsai boxwood.

First, water and fertilizer

Boxwood is an evergreen plant, so it has a high demand for water. It likes humid environment. If it lacks water, its leaves will turn yellow and wither. Therefore, we should pay attention to keep the soil moist. In summer, besides daily watering, we should also spray some water on its leaves.

In addition, May to August is the peak season for its growth. In the meantime, you can apply some decomposed organic fertilizer to it every month and add some nitrogen fertilizer appropriately, so that its leaves will grow more beautifully.

Second, the environment

Boxwood bonsai must be placed in a ventilated place, because it likes wet environment, but if it is wet and not ventilated, it is easy to breed pests and diseases. In addition, it should be placed in a well-lit place to make its branches and leaves grow more vigorously.

If you want to have a beautiful boxwood bonsai, it is very important to trim it regularly. This plant grows faster and is more resistant to pruning. After the new branches grow, we should pay attention to removing the heart to avoid excessive growth of the branches. In addition, some dry, fragile branches or overlapping branches should be trimmed.

Fourth, soil.

Buxus buxus has good adaptability and does not require too much soil quality. Generally speaking, vermiculite is enough for gardening soil. Change pots every one or two years and prune them in early spring.
