I am rooting a pussy willow branch and was wondering what kind of soil do they like.

They definitely like wet areas. In fact if the soil is wet enough you can just stick a willow cutting into the ground and you will get a tree right there. I have done this many times.

If it was put in a bucket of water it might but in a wet paper towel there is not much moisture to soak up. There is a much better chance if it was inserted abou 4 inches in soil and then soak the ground with water. Here is a guide to grow a willow tree from a cutting.

The like growing along stream banks, meaning they like wet feet. They root easily in water also. good luck
