Planting
What do I need?
Make sure that the root ball of the Salix is thoroughly damp. To guarantee this, place the decorative shrub in a bucket of water for 15 minutes before planting. Create a spacious hole for planting and till the soil well. Place the root ball into the planting hole. The top side of the root ball should be just below ground level. Fill the hole up with potting soil and press firmly. Water immediately after planting.
Potted plant
Plant the Salix in a beautiful decorative pot! Fill the pot with potting soil and place the dappled willow inside with the root ball just below the edge. Press down a bit and water. Be sure that any excess water can drain out of the pot.

Care
What do I need?
Prune the dappled willow back by about 10-15 cm every spring. This will ensure that the Salix produces fresh pink leaves each year. Prune the dead branches in the spring. During the spring and summer, sprinkle cow manure pellets around the shrub. Moisten the pellets right away.
Potted plant
If the Salix is in a decorative pot, you should also give it some cow manure pellets regularly and water them immediately afterwards. Be sure to prune it each year in the spring so that new, fresh shoots will grow.
