Raising boxwood requires loose and fertile soil. Provide light every morning and provide adequate shade in the afternoon. Water should be poured according to temperature changes. Watering should be timely when the temperature is above 20℃ to keep the soil and branches and leaves moist. When the temperature is 10-20℃, watering should be stopped and sprayed instead. Pay attention to applying thin fertilizer frequently. Propagation is mainly based on cuttings and layering. If you encounter pests and diseases, anthracnose needs to be controlled with zinc, and the pests need to be eliminated with fenitrothion.

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Boxwood is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil. Generally, sandy loam soil with good drainage is selected, and a certain amount of base fertilizer can be added to provide certain nutrients for its growth.

2. Sunlight: Boxwood needs a certain amount of light, but it cannot be exposed to the scorching sun. Usually put it in a sunny place in the morning and a cool place in the afternoon to receive half a day of light.

3. Watering: Boxwood should be placed in a moist environment To grow in the environment, watering should be based on temperature changes. When the temperature is higher than 20℃, the soil and branches and leaves need to be kept moist. The temperature is between 10-20℃ and can be sprayed appropriately.

4. Fertilization: Fertilization should be based on natural fertilizers. Do not use high-efficiency fertilizers, which will burn the roots. Germination-inducing fertilizer should be applied in spring, temperature-resistant fertilizer should be applied in summer, and heat-preserving fertilizer should be applied in winter to ensure healthy growth all year round.

2. Reproduction skills

1 , Cutting: Cutting is usually carried out during the rainy season. Cut young branches of about 10 cm as cuttings and insert them into soft and fertile soil. They will take root in about 40 days.

2. Layering: Layering is mostly carried out from March to April. The two-year-old branches are pressed into the soil and separated from the mother plant the following spring. After transplanting, keep the soil moist.

3. Pest and disease control

1 , Diseases: Common diseases are anthracnose and leaf spot, which can be controlled by spraying with zinc solution.

2. Pest pests: The main pests are scale insects and borer moths, which can be killed with fenitrothion.
