Buxus sinica var Insularis spacing for a hedge

The optimum plant spacing for a Buxus sinica var Insularis hedge is 25 cm between the plants for a 1.5L pot size. You can reduce the spacing to 20 cm between the plants if you want to achieve a dense and narrow hedge faster. If a 5L pot size or larger is purchased, the spacing can be increased to 35 apart as the plants have been manicured to be bushy already. Be sure to use a stringline to get the line straight and start lightly trimming the sides once the plants show active growth.

Buxus sinica var Insularis care

The most important part of caring for Buxus sinica var Insularis is to make sure they have a well-drained soil that does not become waterlogged at any time. This, along with over-watering, are the main causes of plants to fail to perform or die. The plants can be lightly trimmed any time but this is best undertaken during spring or summer. The final elements are to feed the plants in spring with a general fertiliser and keep an eye on watering so they do not dry out. Also watch for scale insect and mealy bugs and treat with an appropriate agrichemical if necessary.
