Buxus sempervirens 'Monrue' By Kiersten Rankel. Elevate your landscape with Monrovia Boxwood, a stunning and resilient choice for lasting beauty! When selecting a spot for your Monrovia Boxwood , aim for an area that receives partial to full sun, ideally 4 to 8 hours of sunlight daily. Additionally, consider wind protection and ensure good drainage to promote healthy growth.
The ideal soil for Monrovia Boxwood is well-drained and fertile, with a pH level between 6. Before planting, enrich the soil with organic matter or compost to provide essential nutrients. Plant your Boxwood at a depth level with the surrounding soil to encourage proper root establishment.
For hedges, space plants 2 to 3 feet apart; for standalone plants, allow 3 to 4 feet between each one. Spring or fall are the best seasons for planting. After planting, give your Boxwood a deep watering to help it settle in. Moving forward, water weekly during dry spells, but reduce frequency during cooler months to prevent overwatering. Use a balanced NPK fertilizer to nourish your Boxwood.
Apply it in early spring and again in mid-summer to support healthy growth. Prune your Boxwood in late winter to early spring for optimal results. Focus on thinning out older branches and shaping the plant to achieve your desired form.
For container-grown Boxwoods , ensure adequate drainage and regularly monitor moisture levels. In outdoor settings, apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping your plants healthy and thriving. With the right care and attention, your Monrovia Boxwood will flourish, providing beauty and structure to your landscape. Monrovia Boxwood can be propagated through two primary methods: cuttings and layering.
