Guía de cuidado

💧

Riego

Boxwood (Buxus microphylla 'Peergold' GOLDEN DREAM) should be watered about once a week. This will vary depending on the soil conditions. If the soil is sandy, it will require more frequent watering, as it is not able to hold moisture for as long. During the summer, during times of extreme heat, boxwood might require additional water. The best way to determine whether or not to water is to check the soil; if it still feels damp, it is fine to wait until the next watering.
