Planting position: Buxus plants are reasonably versatile and adaptable, they are best planted in full sun through to partial shade. Soil: Before planting cultivation of the soil will prove to be thoroughly beneficial. By digging a deeper hole than required you are ensuring the compacted layers of soil are broken down, this enables the roots to grow more satisfactorily. Ideally you should increase the humus levels in the soil by adding compost or well rotted manure. If a box plant is short of nutrients, it will only grow very slowly. The leaves will tend to become coppery brown, or will develop cream or yellow tips and margins. Once good growing conditions are restored, the leaves will become uniform green again within a few weeks.

The leaves are falling out more and more, leaving a bare plant. Remove those branches. Then also clean your tools, gloves and clothing.

Box responds well to clipping and new growth can be trimmed throughout the growing season (June to the end of August) to retain the shape of the plant. Clip as lightly as possible during the first year to allow the roots to establish themselves. When pruning a box topiary frame, let the foliage grow inside the frame. Clip the foliage that exceeds the frame. Roots can be trimmed if required. Suitable for container planting: Yes, most definitely, Buxus are equally happy in a pot as they are in the ground. Keep in mind if pot planted, they will need to be repotted approximately every 3 years in larger pots and fresh compost.
