- Position: partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: slow-growing
- Hardiness: fully hardy A pair of these tightly clipped box spheres look great flanking a set of steps, a doorway or a path. One of our recommended plants, they're perfect for planting in a large terracotta pot in a partially shady site, where the glossy, dark-green leaves provide all year foliage, interest and structure. Box are happy growing in a sunnier spot, but the combination of dry soil and full sun may encourage poor growth and leaf scorching. If you have sandy soil it is best to keep them in a partially shady spot in the garden.
- Garden care: Ensure that the soil or compost is never allowed to dry out. Trim plants grown as hedges or topiary in mid- or late summer. If you want to maintain a really precise outline, then you can clip it twice a year - once in June, and then again in August/September. Apply a top-dressing of a balanced slow-release fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone (organic) or Growmore (inorganic) around the base of the plant in spring, making sure that none touches the leaves or stems.

Cacti are now a very common houseplant. They come in a vast range of shapes and sizes from the petite to the grand.To care for a cactus plant, it is best to try to recreate their natural habitat. How to Care • Light Cacti thrive with good light sources, and it is best to place them in a bright place. A south facing position will provide good sunlight. However, be careful to not put them in direct sunlight because the intense light can make the plants turn a yellow colour. • Watering If your container has drainage holes, water thoroughly once a week during active growth period. If your container does not have drainage holes, water sparingly to moisten soil but be sure water does not pool up at the bottom of container which can cause rotting. Allow soil to dry between waterings. • Soil Cacti ike soil that is well aerated and fast draining. Perlite or pumice mixed with soil work well for this, or you can pick up cactus/succulent mix. • Fertilizer Fertilize during growing season with a 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted to 1/4 strength each watering. • Re-Potting If your cacti is pot-bound, then the best time to re-pot is in the spring. • Propagation Cacti have many methods for reproduction and can propagate from cuttings, leaf cuttings and producing pups and seeds. -
