  • Dig a hole about 15 times as deep and wide as te root ball
  • Make sure that you loosen the soil well
  • Sprinkle some lime in the hole and mix it through the substrate
  • Mix the substrate with compost and plenty of leafy soil
  • Place the buxus ball upright in the hole, the top of the root ball should be equal to the ground level
  • Fill the hole with soil and press down well with your hands or feet
  • Water the ball sufficiently. Provide it with enough water but not much water.
  • Give the ball manure pallets when it starts to grow
