How to fertilize Arctic Willow
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Arctic Willow after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My Bonzie Willow tree is dying I think, I can't figure out what to do. Leaves are turning black/brown on edges and falling off. About 4, or 5 months old. Help please? I sprayed Neem oil on the leaves about 1 week ago because I thought it may be sick, seems like it made it worse. Last water was yesterday.?????

What is this!? Deer had a snack a few days ago and now I see these black spots. It’s also rained a lot for the past few days. Some tips of branches are dying too.

Bonsai growth I have a bonsai I was gifted from my former supervisor for my birthday (July 10th) He grew it from a stem Cutting he received earlier this year... he says it's an Australian Weeping Willow. I don't think it's looking too awesome... recommendations on how to help this baby thrive? I really want it to live and I'm anxious as I just lost my Juniper Tree and idk where I went wrong. Meanwhile I have 5 babies that are flourishing (Planted July 26th) and 2 other older bonsais doing great (one even flowers daily) #bonsai #newgrowth #newplantmom #help #needadvice

What should I do? I got this cutting about 3 months ago. They recommended I kept the cutting in water for the first two weeks before transferring to soil. Everything was going good until about a month ago. Are the leaves dying because of the cold? I’m in southern Virginia so temps here are still 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit on average. I’ve been watering about once a week. The thing that’s concerning me the most is the browning at the top of the trunk. Please help!

The end of my branches are turning black and the leaves are turning crispy I need help #CorkscrewWillow
