a type of boxwood?

In my country this plant is called Tiny Boxwood! What's its real name? and how much light and water does it need?
Many Thanks

 

Pic is too small to tell what species, or realistically if it is even a box or not at all!

 

an even bigger image is attached. the plant is not taller than 30 cm.

 

Thanks! Yes, it is a box, most likely European Box Buxus sempervirens (the commonest species in the nursery trade), but if it is locally collected in Iran, it could be Caspian Box Buxus hyrcana, which is very closely related (many botanists treat it as a synonym of B. sempervirens).

It will tolerate a fair amount of shade; you should be able to grow it outdoors in Tehran easily, all it will need is a little extra water in dry periods.

 

Isn't it possible to grow it indoors?

 

Not sure! I've never heard of it being used as an indoor plant.

 

I have put it in balcony, where it gets indirect sun-light, and i water it every other day. but it's loosing all leaves! :( what should i do?

 

Stop watering perhaps?
They're fairly drought tolerant, so unless it's got mites or something it should recover.
Water only when the soil is dry one inch down as measured by a finger inserted in the pot.

 

Latin name = Buxus microphyllum 'Faulkner'
Common name = Faulkner little leaf boxwood

 

to saltcedar: The soil gets dry one inche down every other day!
