You can safely stand most willows in a water tray that is filled to
above the bottom of the pot all through the growing season. There are
some that need less water though, so you need to know what species you
have. Be aware that the drainage holes can become blocked with roots
doing this and they will need periodic trimming away.

Is there a special way to water willow bonsai? I know that willow always
needs/ or does better having water all the time. How and when should I
water a willow?
