Rotate xtick labels in seaborn boxplot?

I have a question that is basically the same as a question back from 2014 (see here). However, my script still throws an error.

Here is what I do: I have a pandas dataframe with a few columns. I plot a simple boxplot comparison. 

g = sns.boxplot(x='categories', y='oxygen', hue='target', data=df)
g.set_xticklabels(rotation=30)

The graph looks like this:

enter image description here

I'd like to rotate the x-labels by 30 degrees. Hence I use g.set_xticklabels(rotation=30). However, I get the following error:

set_xticklabels() missing 1 required positional argument: 'labels'

I don't know how to pass the matplotlib labels argument to seaborns sns.boxplot. Any ideas?

If you do not need to reset labels: ax.tick_params(axis='x', labelrotation=90)
