1. Location:

• Plant your American Boxwood in a location that receives partial to full sun. It can tolerate some shade but will grow best with at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.

2. Soil:

• Ensure well-draining soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.
• Add organic matter like compost or peat moss to improve soil structure and fertility.

3. Watering:

• Water deeply and consistently, especially during dry spells or in the first year after planting.

4. Mulching:

• Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Mulch also adds organic matter to the soil as it decomposes.

5. Pruning:

• American Boxwood responds well to pruning and shaping. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

6. Fertilization:

• Fertilize in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients.
