Buxus ball
You can have several reasons to chose for a buxus ball, maybe you want to create more privacy in your garden, or you just like the look of a well-groomed garden. A buxus ball is easy to maintain and with the right care, it will stay nice for many years.
A buxus ball in a pot is a good solution if you want to create more privacy on your patio or balcony, but you don’t want to damage the floor. You can put the pot on wheels, so you can easily move it around. This is also a way to have an eye-catcher in the garden.
If you want a buxus ball in your garden, choose a spot where the sun hits the ball for at least half of the day. This way the buxus can grow nice and strong. You can also put the ball in a pot on your patio or balcony.
Caring for a buxus ball is not difficult, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind. When you water the plant, make sure the water can drain well. Buxus likes to stay moist, but not wet. That’s why it’s important to have a pot with holes in the bottom, or to plant the ball in well-drained soil.
If you want to keep your buxus ball nice and compact, you need to prune it regularly. The best time to do this is in the spring, before new growth starts. You can also prune in the summer, but then you risk damaging the plant.
If you want to give your buxus ball a nice shape, you can use special garden wire. This way you can create any shape you like. Just be careful not to damage the plant when you put the wire around it.
