Potting Boxwood Cuttings

Shrub Doctor took advantage of the awesome warm weekend to transplant several boxwood shrub cuttings that we propagated this past Spring. The cuttings were simply inserted into nice organic soil and left to establish roots. We periodically drenched the cuttings with our sea kelp and liquid worm casting solution that’s used in our annual organic shrub and tree fertilization program. Just look at the root structure of this shrub. We can now re-pot these cuttings into larger containers so they will continue to grow into large healthy plants. The last photo shows these cuttings aligned to the south facing winter sun. They will enjoy nice warm sunshine throughout the next few months. When hot weather arrives we will move these boxwoods into a more protected area so they will continue to grow with minimal stress from intense summer heat and sun.
