Rooting a Twisted Willow from a Funeral Bouquet Twig

Willows root easily from greenwood cuttings in spring.

Method

1. 6-inch tip cuttings at leaf node.
2. Remove lower leaves; dip in rooting hormone.
3. Stick 1 inch deep in wet sand; humidity dome.
4. Bottom heat (fridge top/heat mat); indirect light.
5. Roots in 8 weeks; pot up; harden off 10 days before planting.

Willow water (tea from willow stems) can substitute for rooting hormone.
