Insert the cut end of each cutting into the medium, ensuring at least two nodes are buried. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the container in a bright, indirect light location or in partial shade outdoors. Roots typically develop within a few weeks. Once rooted and established, transplant to a permanent location with adequate moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePussy willow is adaptable but performs best in full sun to partial shade with consistent moisture. Water regularly during dry periods, especially during the first year after planting. Prune as needed to maintain shape or to harvest branches for arrangements. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e10 fresh unrooted Pussy Willow cuttings (Salix discolor).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795494404406,"sku":"FOLIA2-019","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6587592878_c5pl.jpg?v=1792670543","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/10-fresh-pussy-willow-unrooted-cuttings-salix-discolor-easy-to-root","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
