CARE GUIDE

How to keep Salix Arbusculoides.

Water

The little willow tree needs regular watering, especially for seedlings during the summer months, when daily watering is ideal. Mature plants are more resilient; they can withstand periods of drought and occasional water-logging. It's best to water them around 5 PM, paying attention to the soil moisture levels. Be careful not to overwater during rainy periods, but make sure they stay hydrated when the weather is dry.

Pruning

Pruning little-tree willow in early spring is essential for its health and appearance. This process involves removing damaged branches and improving air circulation. By using clean, sharp tools, you prevent further damage and promote healthy regrowth, while also preserving the tree's natural shape and vigor.
