Buxus feed?

WalterMitty · 2011-06-26 03:02:49

What plant fertilizer does a buxus in a container need? Would that liquid tomato plant food be ok?

I'm no expert but I usually use Blood, fish and bone on shrubs etc.

Any general fertiliser will do. If the plant is a little out of sorts, kick start the feeding programme with some Tomato feed before switching to using a regular feed. I'd agree Fish Bone & Blood is very good, alternatively you might prefer to use a liquid feed (eg Miracle Gro) or slow release pellets.

Buxus are thirsty and hungry plants.
