🍄Everything you need to know to successfully produce new Box plants from cuttings.

🍄Japanese Box (Buxus microphylla var japonica) is an evergreen hardy compact shrub with dark green oval leaves. Japanese Box or Buxus japonica is the best box hedge for warmer regions as it tolerates heat better than other Buxus plants. It is suitable for full sun to part shade position and requires little water once established. Plant 40 cm apart for hedging. 1m H x 70cm W in 3 years.

Buxus plants are a traditional favourite, as they are perfect for formal evergreen hedges. Small glossy green leaves on a compact dense shrub, make them perfect for clipping or topiary. They are relatively slow growing, and shade tolerant.

How I propagate an azalea from cuttings.

Here's how I propagate an azalea from cuttings. It the beginning of February and from now (late summer early autumn) until the end of March is an ideal time to take azalea cuttings. They should strike easily and readily with or without rooting hormone applied. The advantage of rooting hormone would be to speed things up and in some cases help with the development of a more vigorous root system.
