Hi all, I've just purchased a buxus plant from b&q which was reduced in price. When I got it home, a family member mentioned that it may have box blight as there are patchy white leaves. If so, I would need to take it back.
Could anyone help?
Many thanks
Emma

looks more like stress due to underwatering.
Agree with Hostafan1, it's quite common with box balls sitting around in stores not tended to carefully. But if it has been stressed, do not temp to pour water all over it. Water right underneath the plant slowly if you water, this will avoid further damaging the leaves. Densely cut box plants has increased chances of developing other fungal problems with dampness.
Thank you so much for getting back to me.
I will use your suggestions and advice and see how it's gets on.
Thanks again
