Japanese Boxwood - Bonsai Plant

Boxwoods are often used in garden hedging, but can make a striking specimen for your windowsill plant collection. Growing with a lush green hue, they're easy to care for and look stunning against white window frames. This striking Baby Gem Boxwood variety is a descendant of the Japanese Boxwood, a plant steeped in tradition since the days of ancient Japan. Origins dating to around 4000 BC, it was a favorite of Bonsai masters, who used it to craft intricate miniature tree sculptures. 

The Baby Gem Boxwood shrub is a robust variety with evergreen foliage, making it an ideal option for bonsai beginners. Its lush green leaves are great for trimming and encouraging new growth. Its cold-hardiness make it an ideal windowsill plant, and yearly pruning will help maximize new foliage growth. Position on a windowsill in direct sunlight and enjoy year-round greenery.

Many people report feeling less stress and anxiety after taking a leisurely walk or spending time in nature. Caring for windowsill plants, such as the Baby Gem Boxwood, can also be highly relaxing. Bonsai gardening is a slow and calming activity that offers rewards over time. Shape your boxwood into any style that suits you or just enjoy the simple pleasure of trimming and watching new growth. 

White ceramic pots are the perfect vessel to house Baby Gem Boxwoods, whose evergreen foliage provides a timeless touch of class and sophistication to any space, whether it be a living room, office, or kitchen. 

This Baby Gem Boxwood windowsill plant comes in a 3-inch pot, ideal for a windowsill space.  Bright green foliage typically starts in spring, but may start earlier on a windowsill with strong sunlight and warmth. Trim your boxwood regularly to encourage healthy, new foliage.

As you grow your windowsill plant collection, you may transfer this Baby Gem Boxwood plant into a larger pot, and in healthy conditions this boxwood plant may grow up to to 36 inches. It is hardy to -10°F, but we strongly recommend bringing potted boxwood plants inside when temperatures are consistently below 50°F.
