Boxwood maintenance
As basic maintenance, we advise to cover the soil under and next to your Box plants with a layer of mulch, like TOPBUXUS CARPET.
Also spray your Box plants with TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX monthly from March to November.
This way your Boxwood will be 100% guaranteed protected from Box Blight!
TOPBUXUS CARPET keeps the area around your Boxwood hygienically clean, a layer of 3cm thick underneath, and a strip of 10-20cm wide along/around your Buxus is sufficient.
This layer of CARPET keeps the soil aerated and prevents puddles of rainwater from forming. It also provides a "cushion" which prevents rainwater from splashing back up into the plants, splashing water is a common cause for fungal infections such as Box Blight.
TOPBUXUS HEALTH-MIX is a natural fertilizer in the form of an effervescent tablet that keeps your Box plants healthy and burns any fungus spores. The monthly application (from March to November) strengthens the plant, making it less susceptible to fungal infections such as Box Blight.
