Have you ever transplanted herbs or seedlings in your garden beds? Do you propagate plants from your garden? If you have, you must have noticed that some of the transplants and/or stem cuttings don’t stay alive after a few days.
– A few branching tips of a well-identified Weeping Willow (or another tree from the Salix relatives),– A big jar or container with a lid.– Enough water to cover the willow branch-tips.
1. Collect some young willow branches with new and growing leave.
2. Remove the leaves off the branches
3. Cut the leftover branches in small stems, of about 1” (2.5 cm) long. etc.
I hope you try the Willow Water to improve the success rate of your cuttings in the garden and that you may also feel more confident in the process of plant propagation.
