Cultivation methods and precautions of boxwood

Watering issues in boxwood cultivation

Watering is a very important aspect of growing any plant. Especially in the north in spring, boxwood trees require a lot of water and evaporation is high, so the amount of watering must be increased to meet the growth needs of the plants. Water the plants on the first day after planting, on the fourth day, and on the sixth day. After that, you can water them according to the weather and growth conditions. In addition, it should be noted that if there is too much water in the soil, the plant will fall over, or if there is too much rainfall, it will be necessary to straighten the plant, add soil, and compact it. In addition, pay attention to the soil condition and level or fill it in time. Because boxwood trees like water, you should adhere to the principle of "better wet than dry" when watering them.

Intertillage and weeding should be carried out together. Intertillage and weeding are usually carried out after rain or irrigation. In addition, timely tillage and weeding should be carried out in the early stage of seedling growth. In the north, tillage should be the main work in spring and autumn, and weeding should be the main work in summer. Especially after rain, it must be dealt with in time, and the principle of early weeding, small weeding, and weeding must be adhered to. It must be eradicated.

Topdressing issues in boxwood cultivation

The type of fertilizer should be determined according to the different growth periods of boxwood. Apply more phosphorus fertilizer during the seedling stage, more nitrogen fertilizer during the growth period, and more potassium fertilizer before the growth stops in autumn. In addition, the specific amount of fertilizer used is calculated according to the period. Generally speaking, it increases during the growth period and then decreases.

Problems in shaping boxwood

During the growing season, boxwood should be pruned in time to cut off diseased branches, weak branches and other unnecessary branches. And after the boxwood bears fruit, it is necessary to pinch the tops of the trees in time to avoid consuming more nutrients and affecting the growth of the boxwood trees. Timely pruning can ensure the healthy growth of the plants.
