We can prepare homemade fertilizer for boxwood care from egg shells and vinegar. The shells will enrich the soil with essential nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, sulfur and zinc, while the vinegar will acidify the soil, support the development of plants and prevent diseases. To prepare the conditioner, crush 10 egg shells and pour 500 ml of vinegar over them.. Leave the mixture in a dark and cool place for about two days, and after that time, dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:10 and water the boxwood. The trick will also work for yew, tomatoes and cucumbers.
When to prune boxwood? Do it on these dates and it will be as plump as ever
Boxwood requires regular pruning, which should be done three times a year. The first pruning should be carried out in spring. Then we shorten the shoots and shape the twigs. The second cut should be made in June, and the last one before autumn – preferably at the end of August, so that the plant has enough time to prepare before the arrival of frost.
