I have some curly willow cuttings (hardened off - mainly second year growth) I put into perlite tonight. I water frequently 2-3 times a day. Do you think I will get roots just using perlite?

I've not had good luck getting curly willow to root in aerated water. Weeping Willows root well for me in water, as do pussy willow. And Hosta's grow like gang busters when you toss them into an aerated bucket. Wild, sand bar type of willows root pretty well in water also.

I should have rooted them under a glass dome, but I think it is a bit late in the year for that, seems to take stuff quite a while in there.
