If the boxwood gets yellow leaves, this is due to a lack of water. Anyone who thinks they don't have to water in winter is wrong. 3 tips on how to spice up the Buchs again.
The evergreen boxwood is usually used as a border around beds or as a hedge. Since it also grows very slowly, in addition to having its price, it annoys gardeners when the boxwood gets yellow leaves.
Tip 1
This is usually the case in spring. On the one hand, it is certainly due to the fact that the boxwood also has to be watered in winter, although it is assumed that watering is unnecessary in frosty weather. However, it needs water because although the surface of the soil is thawed, the plant cannot draw water because the soil is still frosty.
Tip 2
If the box tree is yellowing, you should feed it back up with special fertilizer and plenty of water. Then cut it back in the fall. You can carefully remove the dead branches.
Tip 3
With box trees that are growing in tubs or plant trays, you cannot see to what extent the soil is still moist. There are buckets with an automatic water level indicator. It is displayed whether the tub needs to be watered again. Of course, such containers are not exactly cheap, but they are worth it.
In the years that followed, the boxwood recovered. But it is always important to remember that the boxwood gets enough moisture.
