Creeping Willow thrives in consistently moist soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil does not completely dry out.

Aim for even moisture, mimicking its native wetland or damp grassland habitats. Reduce watering in winter if the ground is frozen or the plant is dormant.

Pruning is primarily for shape and size control. Light pruning can be done in late spring or early summer after flowering.

For rejuvenation or to control spread, heavier pruning can be undertaken in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Creeping Willow is easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of semi-hardwood or hardwood in summer or autumn, respectively. Insert the cuttings into moist, well-draining rooting medium.

Rooting is typically successful with bottom heat and high humidity, or when planted directly outdoors in a suitable location.

Repotting is rarely necessary for Salix repens as it is typically grown in the ground. If container-grown, repot in spring when the plant is dormant. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining, loamy potting mix and water thoroughly after repotting.
