Bear box..I had this for past 10 years and it was so pretty but all of sudden last week it turned into this

Hi, unless your 'box' is Buxus macrophylla 'compacta' which grows to about 12" high and wide, they're in pots that are far too small and shallow, if they are this then try removing the top inch or so, and adding new compost, although if you've had them in the same pots for ten years, I don't think that alone will be enough, and would repot them into larger deeper pots, if on he other hand they're buxus sempervirens, or common box, they should ideally be in the ground, or at least in quite large pots, in a loam based compost, as they will want to be large plants, up to 15ft x 15 ft, Derek.

Thank you . They are not in the pot now , it is in the ground. All box shrubs burnt this year, even my neighbors. My neighbor told me that some kind insect has killed .

I wonder if it is affected by box blight. google that and see if it matches. if it does then the plant is not going to recover.

it is caterpillar insect .i googled and bought a spray but it did not work. I had big round but all died.

What a shame about your teddy bear! He looks really cute. I'm sorry if he can't be saved.

Thank you ,I will try to cage another plant now.
