    Boxwood is a low-maintenance ornamental shrub that develops up to 4 feet high. The best procedure of propagating is through semihardwood arise parts slash off the shrub from July through August. Semihardwood parts are the new development discovered on the end of branches. You can propagate the shrub with hardwood arises or layering, but these procedures manage not give perfect results. Hardwood cuttings take more than six months to make origins and layering may make a crooked or rotated plant.
   
   • Collect 2- to 4-inch parts of semihardwood parts from the boxwood shrub. Cut the parts with a clean, pointed blade and location them in a artificial bag with a moist cloth.
   
   • Mix water into rooting intermediate until it types the consistency of a moist sponge. Fill a propagation platter with the moist medium.
   
   • Remove the boxwood cuttings from the artificial bag and clip off all foliage from the base half of the branch.
   
   • Dip the base end into rooting hormone and attach the stems into the propagation platter to deepness one-half the extent of the stem. Firm the rooting intermediate round the stems to contain it in place. Space the stems in the propagation platter so the leaves manage not touch.
   
   • Mist the stems and intermediate with water to moisten the surface. Place the platter into a large, clear artificial bag and protected it closed. Set the platter in a moderately hot locality that obtains digressive sunlight, for example on peak of a refrigerator.
   
   • Monitor the boxwood arises throughout origin output by unfastening the artificial bag every day. Mist the intermediate and arises as required to hold the consistency of a moist sponge.
   
   • Check for origin development after six weeks of development by dragging up on the stem. Stems with opposition have origin development.
   
   • Move the dirt softly to work out the origin length. Transplant the boxwood arises into 4-inch increasing vessels one time the origins are a smallest of 1 inch long.
   
   • Grow the boxwood cuttings inside until jump in a locality that obtains brilliant sunlight.
