How to fertilize Pussy 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 Pussy Willow after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

While transporting mySalix Caprea Weeping willow home she dropped a few buds and some branches look bare. Will more buds grow? #GoatWillow

Does the large one look ready for planting? It’s been 4 weeks in the water. Also what type and size pot should I get to plant it in? Any tips would be greatly appreciated and helpful #NewGrowth

Drooping, and Program didnt give me a lot of care instructions Recently did a crafty event at work where we all got bonsai plants. No where on the packaging I received told me what kinda tree it was, or specific instructions. We had the event where someone from the company (crafty) vaguely gave us instructions with reoccurring "Google it...". Now I've become slightly attached and worried. Its starting to drooping. 1. What plant is it? I gleam from the internet and I remember her saying it was a willow. 2. How often should it be watered. I've looked and gotten wildy different takes. 3. Is this drooping normal? A few leaves have broken off, and a few have brown crisp tips.

My austree hybrid willow tree is planted in the ground outdoors, in full sun. It’s due for watering. The app says water only 1/2 cup. That doesn’t seem adequate. Anybody have advice?

Help, What's wrong with my plant? My little willow tree had been pretty happy ever since spring came around and grew leaves like it was a contest. Then, the local ants had their little aphid farms on the new leaf buds. I tried to combat them by spraying them with soap water first, then later with (cold) nettle tea. It worked. The aphids and the ants both left my plant alone, but about two weeks later, when i checked on my plant, i noticed that the leaves were suddenly all dried up. The plant looked fine the day before. The soil is moist, and the pot has drainage, so i don't think it is a water thing, but i am really worried. Please help.

Potentially Dying #PussyWillow Hi. I’ve have my pussy willow for about a month now and it looks like it’s dying. The leaves are dual, limp and shriveled. The leaves have not fell off yet and there has not been any growth either. I’ve repotted her a few times due to poor soil drainage and mold growth. She is currently placed outside on my balcony which is shaded and doesn’t get much sunlight. I would love some help with nurturing her back to life.
