# I’m confused!!! I have three weeping willow trees and the thickest…

I’m confused!!! I have three weeping willow trees and the thickest TOOK off like crazy it already grew out its old pot. Then I have these two tiny ones, the one is soil isdoing amazing, but the one in water seem to be focusing on its roots more than the leaves.. is this normal?!?

Are you adding any type of fertilizer to the water prop? And are they getting the same light?

They’re all in the same window and no none since I’ve gotten them have had fertilizer

That maybe why you're seeing more growth in the soil one. Because it's getting nutrients from the soil. I usually pot up plants once they have about 2" of roots growth. Then water heavy for a week, as they transition to soil from water
