How to Water common box?

Originating from limestone hills and woodlands, common boxwood is well-adapted to a moderate moisture environment. This species exhibits an inherent drought resistance, thriving with a balance of soil moisture that doesn't veer towards waterlogging. Watering should be adjusted to once every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry slightly between sessions. Typically cultivated as an evergreen ornamental shrub outdoors, common boxwood benefits from mulching to retain soil moisture and protect its roots in varying climate zones.
