Growing & Maintenance Tips for Buxus sempervirens

To care for Buxus sempervirens, ensure it receives partial to full sunlight and water it regularly to keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Prune the plant annually to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches, and apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring for optimal growth.
