How to fertilize Baby Gem Boxwood
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Baby Gem Boxwood after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

bushy's been dropping a bunch of leaves I've had my common boxwood for almost half a year now and it's been recently dropping a bunch of leaves. from what I see, the leaves turn brown/copper and drop. it did drop leaves before but not as much as it is dropping now. the whole centre part of the plant is basically empty now.
