Sunlight

Green plants all need sunlight, without which they cannot breathe. But they cannot be exposed to the sun all day and all night, and they need to be protected from the sun from time to time. Boxwood is very special. At the beginning, before normal cultivation, it needs to be placed in a cool place. It is more taboo to strong light, so it is best to expose it to diffuse light, which is most conducive to the growth of boxwood. It can accept morning light and sunset, but it is not suitable for exposure to the midday sun.

Watering

It originally grew by the river, so it has a strong water-loving nature, so it needs to be watered more often. However, watering it also needs to take seasonal factors into consideration. We need to make different adjustments according to different seasons. Its water requirements are different in different seasons. For example, in the dry winter season, it needs to be watered three times a day, while in the spring and autumn seasons with heavy humidity, it should be watered slightly less.

Apply fertilizer at the right time

Boxwood requires a lot of nutrient supply for its growth. It is best to apply a phosphate fertilizer solution every 3 weeks during the seedling period, and a nitrogen fertilizer solution every 1 month during the growth period. In autumn and winter, a small amount of potassium fertilizer solution can be added appropriately, and the soil should be loosened each time fertilization is applied.

Apply white wine

Apply urea

Urea contains a certain amount of fertilizer, but when we use it, we must also dilute it with clean water, and then we can cultivate it normally, but we need to apply nitrogen fertilizer regularly, which will be of great help to the germination of boxwood and make the leaves of boxwood more shiny.
