Water: Dappled willow 'Hakuro' thrives in moist environments, requiring consistent moisture with watering twice a week. Preferring cooler temperatures and damp soil, it is well-suited for riparian landscapes, often found near water sources in its native habitat.
Fertilize: During the early growth stage of dappled willow 'Hakuro', apply a light nitrogen fertilizer 4-5 times. Mature dappled willow 'Hakuro' requires minimal fertilization, but occasional potassic fertilizers like calcium phosphate may be beneficial. Healthy leaves indicate fertile soil, and nearby fertilized lawns reduce the need for additional fertilization.
Pruning: Dappled willow 'Hakuro' showcases beautiful variegated leaves and benefits from early spring pruning. Trim one-third of old branches to boost new growth and maintain compactness. Regular thinning enhances air circulation and light exposure, promoting disease resistance. Always use sterile tools for pruning to avoid infections.
Propagation: Dappled willow 'Hakuro' is propagated through cuttings using healthy stems. Apply rooting hormone, then insert into peat and perlite. Maintain moisture and indirect light until roots develop. Once established, transplant outdoors with proper spacing for optimal growth.
