Boxwood stock plant brought indoors

16 years ago

I've been given two 18 inch tall boxwoods that have been dug out of my friends garden and now sit as rootballs in pots in my kitchen. The top 12-14 inches is densely foliated. Each one has 2 or 3 one inch thick branches at the base and numerous other small branches. I will put one into training and replant the other come spring. Any suggestions regarding the care of these two is appreciated.

Thanks.
