Dear Experts,
Today I noticed two Weeping Willows in 6-gallon vases forgotten in a corner at my local HomeDepot.
One seems dead, the other one is close but still alive.
Their pricetag said $30 each, I spoke with a Manager and took them both home for $20.
I'd like to nurse them back to health.
Here's a pic of them, I couldn't get home with daylight:
First thing I did was removing those blood sucking plants from the vase, I then watered them.
What do you suggest I do to give these guys the TLC they need? The first one seems dead, but the trunk looks good and seems somewhat flexible, so I'd love to try whatever I can. Perhaps some drastic pruning might be needed?
Please let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance!
