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

Am I supposed to trim this plant back at any point? I think its being burnt by the sunlight outside, what is the best place to put it to grow? #WeepingPussyWillow

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

My Bonsai Tree has these black seeds or spots on one of the leafs. Is that normal?

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

It started to grow new leaves. But the white furry thing has started to fall off. I just place them on the top of the pot. What to do with those fallen flowers(?)? I water this plant thru the bottom basin. I fill it up to the rim and let the pot slowly sip all of the water. Will it not rot the roots?? I mist the leaves and branches every morning and night. Is this good? Tia. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PussyWillow #WateringHacks
