In many sometimes we admired a beautiful tree of Willow. 
The Willow is a tree from growing very fast, with deciduous leaves, typical of the northern hemisphere and a lover of moist soil. One of the best known members of the family of the Willows is the Weeping Willow, a beautiful plant with pendulous branches typical, with elongated leaves that often have a silky or white underside.
The popularity of this tree is largely due to its versatility: the bark is used in medicine for the content of salicin (which acetylsalicylic acid, which is the active ingredient of aspirin) anti-inflammatory and analgesic. The wood is used for making furniture, tools and veneers, the fiber used to make rope and paper, the branches are twisted to build baskets, pots and other objects (wicker).

One of the easiest ways to get popular and it seems their plants from cuttings.
The concept is to take a sprig from a plant "donor" or "mother" and make the environment favorable for this development and its roots give rise to a new plant.
This technique allows to obtain plants with the same genetic characteristics of the mother and thus operate power leaving a choice as to quality, size, cost and type of plant that we're going to grow.
Also the use of cuttings from plants growing Advanced allows to shorten the time and get faster harvest.
The type of cuttings can vary from plant to plant (depending on the kind we're going to take hardwood cuttings, semi-woody, herbaceous, leaf, root or succulent) but generally it is an apical branch with leaves, stem and at least one node.
Let's see how: you will need to sterilize the material.
After that, soak the substrate (eg rockwool cubes or peat tablets) with water pH and EC calibrated and squeeze gently.
The temperature is kept constant at around 20-25 degrees and humidity will have a stable value around 80%. To achieve this ideal propagation environment we can help with a heating pad and a plastic Serretta .
The cuttings should be from plants in good health and already grown, but are not the flowering stage.
The stem should be able to support the leaves without bending.

The method of propagation from cuttings is a widely used, as it offers considerable advantages: a single plant, however small, you can get many that it becomes identical to the mother plant.
From each plant can produce different types of cuttings: for example, the geraniums root easily from cuttings herbaceous, roses in proceeds almost exclusively by cutting wood, rubber plants and begonias are propagated by cuttings quickly leaves.
Before taking the material to proceed is therefore necessary to inquire about the type of cuttings that we can ensure greater success depending on the variety that we want to propagate.
We see at a glance the types: Read more ...
