The box tree ( Buxus<\/em> ) is not one of the strong eaters, but regular fertilization ensures that plants are particularly hardy, strong, green-leafed and resilient. Especially with shaped trees, a balanced fertilization helps to overcome the stress of cutting your boxwood and to form an impenetrable green. In addition, you can ensure a slightly alkaline soil pH value with the right fertilization. The lime-loving plant needs this so that the given nutrients can be absorbed in the correct amount.<\/p>\n

Slow-growing shrubs such as boxwood, like more vigorous plants, depend on nutrients that serve as a basis, but they need much less of it. This means that you should pay particular attention to the amount when fertilizing, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the plant. So it is very important to be familiar with the needs of these beautiful, malleable plants. That is why we have gathered specialist knowledge to answer all the important questions you have about fertilizing a box tree. In the following you will find out how a box tree is fertilized, when you should use fertilizer and what nutrient composition a suitable fertilizer has to offer.<\/p>\n
