Its pyramidal shape is achieved through regular pruning, giving it a compact, dense, and elegant look. It features small, oval, dark green and glossy leaves that remain throughout the year, making it ideal for creating low hedges, borders and decorative pots. Its resilience and ability to be shaped make it one of the most classic ornamental plants in traditional and contemporary gardens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientific name<\/strong>: <em>Buxus sempervirens<\/em><br \/><strong>Common names<\/strong>: Boxwood, Common Box<br \/><strong>Family<\/strong>: <em>Buxaceae<\/em><br \/><strong>Origin<\/strong>: Mediterranean region and Western Europe<br \/><strong>Climate<\/strong>: Temperate, Mediterranean<br \/><strong>Category<\/strong>: Outdoor plant<br \/><strong>Approximate height<\/strong>: 90cm<br \/><strong>Pot diameter<\/strong>: 27cm<\/p>\n<p><strong>CUIDADOS<\/strong><br \/><strong>Light<\/strong>: Adapts to full sun or partial shade. In very hot climates, it benefits from some protection during the most intense sunlight hours.<br \/>Temperature: Hardiness to cold and frost, resisting down to about \u201315 \u00b0C. Prefers temperate climates.<br \/><strong>Watering<\/strong>: Moderate. Soil should be kept slightly moist, especially for potted plants. Avoid waterlogging, as roots are sensitive to excess water.<br \/><strong>Humidity<\/strong>: Prefers fresh, well-drained soil. Doesn&#8217;t like excessively dry environments for long periods.<br \/><strong>Fertilization<\/strong>: Apply slow-release fertilizer for shrubs in early spring and again in summer to stimulate growth and maintain dense, green foliage.<br \/><strong>Pruning<\/strong>: Essential to maintain the pyramidal shape. Should be done 2 to 3 times a year, between spring and early autumn, avoiding the hottest periods.<br \/><strong>Life cycle<\/strong>: Perennial.<br \/><strong>Soil<\/strong>: Fertile, fresh, calcareous or clay-sandy substrate, always well-drained. Tolerates different soil types as long as they are not too acidic or waterlogged.<br \/><strong>Not Pet Friendly<\/strong>: Although mildly toxic, ingestion of leaves may cause gastrointestinal disturbances in pets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun fact<\/strong>: Boxwood has been cultivated for centuries in Europe and was highly valued in Renaissance and Baroque gardens for creating mazes and geometric shapes. Its wood is extremely dense and was traditionally used for fine carvings and musical instruments.<\/p>\n<p>WARNING!
