Buxus sempervirens leaves going yellow

Hi All,
I hope you can help me, I don't have much experience with plants and looking online didn't really help me to understand what is the specific reason why my buxus are turning yellow (there are several reasons and I can't figure out which one is affecting my plants).
I bought 4 buxus more or less 3 or 4 weeks ago and they all started turning yellow after 2 weeks. I'm wondering how can I fix this and get them healthy...Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you! :-)

    Not in a big enough pot, they are hungry plants (for food and water).  Looks like it might have got a bit of frost damage just after being trimmed, as it's many of the cut leaves that are brown.  With sufficient space for it's roots to grow, and some watering and feeding, it will probably be OK.  Don't know where you are based, but keep a lookout for Box Tree Caterpillar, as they are a serious problem in many parts of the UK.  The most obvious sign to look for is webs all over the plant, but I cannot see any sign of this on your plants.

    Thanks again for your help! :-)
