Remember that curly willow is a deciduous shrub, mainly found near the edges of wetlands, so keeping it alive in a warm/hot climate isn't easy. I figure my grandson will have no trouble with it because like most kids, he loves to water, and it's nearly impossible to overwater it.
It roots very easily in loose/peat rich/sandy soil, so you may be able to keep some alive in a large pot. To propagate, when buds begin to show, snip a piece at ground level and put in water - when leafed out add to your arrangement.
