I have started a willow tree from a branch in water. It has a ton of new roots growing. Do I need to change out the water or leave it alone?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

If it has roots, plant it in some form of substrate. be carefull they break easily

Please note, there is no need to double post your question.

Leatherback, being new to the forum I was a bit confused on posting. I posted about my willow on one of the threads talking about willows thinking that was an ideal place to get an answer, so I was not intentionally “highjacking” as you stated. I then thought to post my own question and tried to delete my question from my first post but could not figure out how to do that. Which is why I posted twice. Maybe this forum and Bonsai Empire is not for me, as I was not expecting to get scolded and feeling attacked at the same time. Not a good way to treat a new member.

In both threads I gave to the point advice on what you could do with your tree.
You call that scolding? It looks like what I call a friendly reminder of the way we do things here (Which you have read, as the forum kindly asks to read the forum etiquette) is considered scolding. Interesting.

Jeez LB, stop pissing off new members already :lol:

Appearently I am on a roll. To be honest, I really do not see how my post can be taken as an attack. Maybe I should also stop posting if all I do is appearently piss off people.

Don't.
You have not been aggressive at all, and I am sure @Fonz was joking.

Ofcourse I was joking ;)
The guy in the other thread couldn't take any kind of (constructive) critisism and in this thread someone also has long toes (if that even is a saying in English). I enjoy reading LB's posts here, on another forum and on his blog. Big fan, B)

I agree with Fonz. I read every experienced person advice as advice, not an attack. Be positive, as most of us newbies came here to seek help.
