Salix reticulata, commonly known as net-leaved willow, is a small subshrub in the family Salicaceae. It is native to subalpine and subarctic regions, thriving in cold climates. This plant is characterized by its reticulated leaves and low-growing habit, making it well-suited to harsh, windy environments.
Salix reticulata requires bright, direct light and thrives in cool temperatures. It prefers high humidity and should be kept evenly moist. This plant is well-suited to outdoor environments where it can receive ample sunlight and cool air.
Bodem
Salix reticulata prefers loamy soil that is well-draining yet retains moisture. The soil should be slightly acidic to neutral in pH. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant.
Kunstmest
This plant does not have high fertilizer requirements. If needed, a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season to support healthy growth.
Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for Salix reticulata due to its subshrub nature. However, if grown in a container, repotting can be done in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining soil mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
Voortplanting
Salix reticulata can be propagated through cuttings. Take softwood cuttings in late spring or early summer and root them in a moist, well-draining medium. Keep the cuttings in a humid environment until they establish roots.
Snoeien
Pruning is not typically required for Salix reticulata. If necessary, remove any dead or damaged branches in early spring to maintain the plant's health and appearance.
Toxiciteit
Salix reticulata is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is best to prevent ingestion by pets and children.
Aanvullend
Salix reticulata is well-adapted to cold climates and can tolerate harsh conditions. It is an excellent choice for rock gardens or alpine plantings where it can thrive in its natural habitat.
