    I have some healthy box plants and would like to keep them that way - apart from a general fertiliser is there anything else I can use/buy to keep them a lovely dark green?

    Hiya Stanley :)
    A general fertiliser is fine. My choice is always organic, viz. Fish blood and bone, which is a little slower in effect but more sustained. "Feeds" the soil too.
    I would not over feed.......plants grown slowly and surely is better than nitrogen rich quick boost quick fade.
    However, mulching is something I recommend .....helps conserve moisture and soil comdition.
    Enjoy your plants :smile:
