Willow planted into seed compost will it survive?

[tillytubby]

My four year old has taken an interest in gardening and after a trip to a local seed show we came home with a lovely willow sculpture.

The instructions say to pot into a large container once we got home. I discovered however that we only had seed compost at home to do this with so rather than disappoint my son we duly potted it up in this.

Will it survive? Should I replace it to proper potting compost? The instructions say not to disturb the new growing roots for six months once potted up. It's been in the pot for about two weeks.

It will probably be fine, I've known willow to root and grow when left and ignored in a bucket of water outside!
Make sure it doesn't dry out and maybe pot it up in something more specialised later on, but for now I wouldn't disturb it.

it's fine.
seed compost is free draining and doesn't contain much nutrients.
but willows are hardy buggers, they will be fine.
just keep up watering as willows are thirsty.

Thanks everyone. It's certainly getting a good drink in the rain this morning!
