Re: [matlea] buxus
Haven't done much to this other than to water and fertilise. It did put out some flowers and has started pushing new growth. Will give it a couple of weeks and then looks at its first styling.

Re: [matlea] buxus
Well its first 'styling' involved lopping the top off!
I will have to re grow the top starting from a more central location - which is possible. The section that was cut off was too straight and didn't have many branches until the top, so not ideal.
I also took it out of the plastic pot and gave the roots a trim which was a good thing as it was packed full of roots. I will leave it in an oversized pot for now until the top is re grown to speed things up.... Although I don't think it will be that speedy......
