Boxwoods are quite hardy, however 2" tall indicates a new cutting/seedling (this size, up to 8" tall is known as a Mame) and I imagine is planted in a small pot (need more info here) therefore can dry out easily, water every day. Fertilize with a very week solution using 20-20-20, if Superthrive is available use it on your new Bonsai. It should be growing in a bright, shady, protected area, preferably outdoors. Do not allow it to freeze.
